I have rescaled two Stretch and two Enduras. Haven't done a Delica, but same process.
I would certainly get a Delica lightweight kit, just in case. AND the pins are the same on a delica and stretch, and the delica kit comes with a set of pins. at 15.00, that kit may save your project(s).
I do go with a larger TORX screw as the T-6 is weak, in my experience. The screws are 2-56 thread, and you can find several variations at

Be VERY careful when Milling out for the liners as there are a couple of places that are very close tolerance. If you have a grinder, there's nothing that says you can't grind the liners to give more space at the edges. as long as you don't grind into the pin holes.
Here is a Tenacious build to see what I mean. It is a radical mod, but you can see what I am talking about there.

Make sure you dress any edge you grind as if there is any "wire" left on the edges, it will prevent the scale from fitting flat.
