Been dealing with those knurled inserts in plastic. Anyone aware of something similar to a rivnut that you can install in plastic?

They make rubber ones called well nuts. They make good vibration isolators, too. Downside is they do not stay cinched when the screw is removed.

You could use split body rivnuts (bottom of the page that stafford posted).
