Well, now with how far into the project yo can;t change it that much. I a big poject make some test pieces first so you know about these problems:)

Since you already laminated and have the screw holes made you really can't start over.
What I did for my panel was have some 1" pine blocks to screw the mdf pieces too.

Well, the only thing I can think of is predrill the hole, and if you can clamp the section do so to help it form splitting.

Or you can still use block if you screw frm the inside.
