What about using NO screws and instead use VHB Tape and seal apply sealant between boards? Similar to the portlight procedure we are always talking about. This way you won't have a rotten cockpit in 10 years. FWIW, it is my understanding that new boats do not use screws through the deck for teak anymore. They use epoxy adhesive and vacuum bag. VHB would keep them in place for the life of your boat.
