    Install the pillars first.

    Then bed.

    Once the job is done, all pillars do is prevent the action screws from compressing the soft (wood) stock material, changing their toque under pressure or various atmospheric conditions.

    They also serve as a temporary platform to support your action while the bedding material cures.

    Some people will settle with pillars alone, but I don't know how to bed without using pillars.
