Applying the dimple won't screw up the threads in the hole or be the cause of cross threading etc? Curious as to why not high temp. thread locker.

If you can get the hole completely free of oil and dry. Blue locktite is better

Use a blow gun while hooked up to shop air and hold the nozzle to each hole and blow them out one by one. Then I'd spray them out with brake clean. Then, you could blow them out again and wait for each hole to dry before installing the new gaskets.

Brake clean should also work if you don't have access to shop air.

Dimpling the edge of the screw won't damage the threads. Too far away. You don't touch the threads.
