I've got 4 Choate Tactical stocks that I have the cheek riser's on, and have never had any issues using the single mounting screw that it uses. It uses a common type wood screw, so if you mess up the Phillips head, just replace it. Been taking mine off / on for over 20+ years!
You are overthinking it!
