Question about mounting a cheek block on a mast or boom

When mounting a cheek block on the mast or boom, do you use heavy metal screws to hold the block in place, or is a nut/bolt combo required? I've been thinking about re-running my jib and main halyards so that I can raise them from the cockpit, but I don't know if the stresses on the blocks would be such that they'd need more support than from screws.

Thanks!
