    Thats extreamly thin screws!! About 1.5- 1 mm ....they would sheer as soon as you put any force on the screwdriver. Are you measuring the diameter of the upper shank of the screw or in the valley of the threads?

    CU's

    This is esentially how the RCD is tripped when you press the test switch on RCD sockets and plugs. It creates an inbalance between the current flowing in the live and neutral wires which trips the RCD.

    How do I cut this hole

    If you mess up the hole you could always rough it out to say 44mm and cut 25mm off the end of a push fit straight coupling and use it as a grommet for your pipe to fit through. The flange of the coupling should cover any irregularities in the hole and provide a snug fit for the pipe.
