I have a Warmoth body I bought about 15 years ago that is routed for a floyd and has some small guide holes that need to be drilled larger to accept the bushings for the posts. The thing is that I dont have any tools whatsoever in my tiny apartment and was wondering if there were any screw into the wood type studs/posts for the floyd?

They do make the screw in type. I had an old Carvin that had them. I don't know if you can still get them though. Also, the screw in types supposedly cause stress cracks in the body.

I'd recommend taking it to your local luthier to have the holes enlarged for the studs as well as having the studs pressed in
