From the looks of it, you might be able to two-part epoxy resin the top two points, and possibly the bottom two. If you got creative with jb weld, there is a kind that you can sculpt. jb weld is a wonder product. it molds like clay and dries harder than steel.

Worst case scenario, you could cut wooden dowels to the right depth, drill them out, then epoxy resin them to the inside. easy peezy.

I dont know how, but that looks salvageable/repairable. Just gotta be a bit creative and you'll get there.

If the threads are ok on the machine just stack up some washers to the correct depth for each broken piece. Maybe even trim back the badly broken ones. Either way the screws when tightened should square things up and be solid.

We will all be so happy when 3d printers will be ubiquitous and you simply pay a few dollars to have them recreate the custom panel or build a new design. Now it would cost too much...but soon it will be relatively cost effective.

Cheers,
