Stock, that section of the rocker is about 12mm thick. It is usually ground down to about 8mm (4mm removed) to allow assembly clearance for the rockers. Yours is a bit under 8 but I think it's still OK.
 
You might consider shortening the new screws a little bit. That way they will more closely match the weight of the originals. Easy to do with an abrasive cut-off blade in a Dremel .....
