Countersinking the holes and using a countersunk socket head capscrew would be easier and/or redrill 3 new holes on the extension post to a very tight fit OR leave the existing 3 screws in place whilst redrilling 3 new holes at 120deg apart and drill and tap those holes, WITHOUT redrilling outside wall of the post, thereby providing NO clearance in the screw holes on the extension post
