Default Servo mounting procedures: tips

Newbie to sport. Have a Sig Four Star 60 with dual ailerons. I have just bought Futaba S 3010 high torque servos.
1. Concerning mounting servos: I've read you should drill 1/16 holes, put in the metal grommets, then insert screws. What purpose do the little metal grommets serve? Can you do without them?
2. I was also told a good technique is to screw in the screws a couple of times, then put a drop of fast CA glue in the threads which will help the screws stay seated? Is this a good technique?
3. Any other little hints/techniques on mounting servos would be appreciated.
