I'd stick with the stock holes.
Options I can think of:
1. Fill and reshape the trunk holes to make them tighter and use the current hardware.
2. Ditch the plugs and use something larger with the OEM screws
3. Drill through, ditch the OEM screws and plugs, and use some home depot hardware to get a better fit. Probably will need longer screws and a bracket in the back.

Take the front half of problems with E30s, add the rear half problems of E46s and you have the list of E36 problems!

Oh you have the trunk handle issue too? Those are fun.

It's easier than it sounds. Had to do some crazy stuff to get my friend's M3 CSL trunk to fit all the hardware and this is nothing compared to that.
