Default Stripped threads in engine under tray captive nuts

Did my first ever oil change in my 10 year old XC60 - up until now it has been dealer serviced, but I can't justify the cost anymore, so it's back to DIY.

The oil change went smoothly, but what I did notice was that on the engine under tray one attaching screw was missing and of the 7 remaining screws 4 of them went into stripped nuts and would not tighten up.

I am wondering if the dealer had been using some sort of power driver (air or electric) to tighten up the screws excessively and that was why they were stripped?

Luckily the captive plastic nuts are easily popped out so I will replace all those plus get a new screw to replace the missing one

For the record the replacement parts are:

Screw (with integral washer) - 998164
Plastic nut - 30683256
