Could you break off what remains of the stake and replace it with a long
screw, 2 washers and a nut? (is there room underneath?)
Not easily. The top part of the keyboard consists of a set of U-shaped
plastic chabeeles, the open face of which go agains the membrane
sandwich, the top face of which carry the keycaps. The heat-stake pins
are moulded as part of the sides of the channels. There isn't enough
thickness there to drill holes and fit screws.

Indeed
they will. LK201s will be utterly destroyed if you get them
wet, and I have found no way to disassemble them.
Oh, LK201s are easy to take apart (Unclip all the keycaps, then cut off
the heat-stakes on the back and take it all apart). It's getting them
back together that's 'interesting' (there's not enough plastic left to
re-do the heat staking).
