how about this idea kinda on the wild side but hey it may work. go up one size on the screw, maybe a sheet metal screw, self tapper may be the way also, forget the wood.

i took a piece of 1/4 mdf (i had 1/4 and 3/4) and traced the metal plate (rectangle) and marked the 6x9 opening.. I used that.. and it is real good. I put 5.25" coaxial JL's not 6x9's but you can bolt up the 6x9 just fine.

sometimes new speakers come with the little clip for the screws to go into. those work really well at getting them down tight.
