You should try to get a grip of yourself when you are tightening those screws. The base can only take so much pressure since it is a small thing. So, have the instinct to know when you have already reached your limits. Have somebody look over you just to get the right amount of tightness in your set up.

Only let a screwdriver remove the lid from the bottom. With the lid out of the way, you can already search for the cable. Thus, simply take your time and be certain that the cables have not been exposed beforehand since that can cause a friction between you and these objects which can be very dangerous.
