This is an "all or nothing" situation wherein you want it to work properly with all five studs, starting with the first one and making your way carefully around to all five. Practice is the important word here. I'd even be a slight bit leery of a machine shop that says ..... "Sure, we can do that" ................ if they've never done it before. Not trying to "pooh-pooh" your good intentions. But, like the first time cutting a piece of wood, you want to "Measure twice, cut once ............. maybe even measure 3 times." Good luck. Let us know how you make out.

My buddy replaced a loose one of mine easily with the backing support you mentioned and the tool from Brattons.
