Default Wiper Cowling - replace retainers

Y'all know the JK as 4 torx bolts and 4 Christmas tree style retaining plugs holding the wiper cowling in place. Has anyone replaced the retaining plugs with screws? I'd like to tap the plastic holes and then use Torx bolts in place of the plugs. Anyone using something other than the plugs? If yes, what did you use and how did it work?
