I installed aftermarket fog lamps underneath my front bumper on my '94 850 approximately five years ago. The brackets holding the lamps came with self tapping screws and double sided tape. I ran into the same problem as you encountered....so....I did the unthinkable and screwed right into the plastic bumper as well as using the double sided tape. They are as strong today as they were five years ago including surviving five winters. I mounted them with the tape first, fussing until they were in the exact position that I wanted. Then I used the screws, tightening them only until they felt snug, knowing that if I kept turning they would just strip the plastic. No problems since.
