So I ended up keeping my old tool box, just threw away the lid, wrapped extra tools into some fabric to avoid sounds, and place them on top. Its crazy design, to replace tool box you need open this thing, well whatever, its not like was ever gonna use tinny 10"x10"x2(?) space above toolbox lid.
use a #3 bit and push super hard into it so the bit doesn’t slip, mine came out, they are torqued hard but it’s to keep the 4 little hooks they hold in nice and tight

nah, the head of the screw is gone. I would need to go to dealer or someone who knows how to fix it. Its not worth the money or time, the tire can be placed without removing the box, I dont mind to put jack in the existing box and just throw away a lid. That section of trunk is useless anyway.
