I would skip the screws and mount it with 3m Dual Lock. Unlike regular Velcro the two sides are the same smooth, non-snagging texture. It is very strong, but also removable without leaving any damage.
I'm not a fan of that stuff. It holds so strongly versus its adhesive that you'll probably pull the whole strip off your desk if you try to separate it.
I haven't had any trouble with it on laminate or finished MDF surfaces. I have some mini PCs, docks and network gear mounted under desks with it.
The main thing is to not use too much. A 1l pc would only need 4 small pieces. Pry from the edge to separate the sides at an angle - tilted removal is easier than trying to pull straight apart.
