I agree. If a screw is what it takes, then use one. The resulting 2-3mm
hole will be so insignificant. When you show your mates the boat, you'll have to
point it out, since they won't notice it otherwise. "see that dot there? There - I had to use a screw there to make
the damn strips conform!"

I also found it helpful to run the strips 1-2' past the end. This overhang was useful to exert a twisting force on, to help the strips completed the quite severe twist around this area.
