I am not trying to be argumentative but when is it necessary to remove the lens mount from the body? I've seen a few threads in the forums about covering up certain lens contacts to coax extra functions from certain lenses but for the most, why would you need to be able to remove the lens mount?
Re: Increasing the screw size. Usually, when the screw shaft diameter is increased there is a corresponding increase in the screw head size, and most likely the countersink on the mounting ring would need to be enlarged for the screws to seat properly and not interfere with the lens' mount/dismount operation. When dealing with such tiny screws, for most people this is a can of worm better left untouched, imho.
Thanks,
