Under desk vesa mount ? (lemmy.world)

So I've got this 1 liter PC I would like to mount under my desk. I got the compatible vesa kit from lenovo, and would rather use the standard bolts that are provided.

How do I fix them to my particle board desk? Simple holes will not hold the tight thread of the bolts, and I didn't find 'hollow' screws that would hold these, I'm not even sure they exist.

What would be the solution here? Just skip the bolts and put some regular screws? I fear the result won't be very clean...

Thanks

I haven't had any trouble with it on laminate or finished MDF surfaces. I have some mini PCs, docks and network gear mounted under desks with it.

The main thing is to not use too much. A 1l pc would only need 4 small pieces. Pry from the edge to separate the sides at an angle - tilted removal is easier than trying to pull straight apart.
