any diy cheap ways to do it that are way stronger? im not one of those emo kids by any means haha but i do go nuts when i play

. im using the dunlop strap locks and what ive found is they stick too far off of the guitar body and get too much leverage on the small screws working them out of the holes. this is a problem for my ibanez gax 70 a cheap guitar but i just dont want that screw getting ripped out and not be able to use it.
