use bigger screws or clean up and fill then re drill holes no need to paint as will be hidden by plate depends how fussy you wanna be there is plenty of liquid metals out there these days and lots of others ways you can do it

Or if you're really worried about it falling off then stick some bolts through it with nuts on the inside of the tailgate.

Just make sure you get a good few coats of paint around your holes first though, otherwise your new boot will fall the same way as the last.
