i was also thinking about using a soldering iron and inserting the tip into the center of the anchor and sort of melt it into the box.
They are holding up pretty well. None of them came loose at least for now. The first time you tighten a screw in them, it seems too tight, you may also see some metal particles. After that the first few times the threads seem like a normal thread.

Not sure if heating will help or not. They are in there pretty tight. There are other insert designs for ultrasonic heating. Googling plastic thread inserts will show those variations.
