I’ve seen the sill stickers removed and feel the screws do need a thick sticker to cover them. I’m surprised the screws were not countersunk deeper with a cap over them (like the door handle caps) Perhaps a solution would be to use a separate small circle of vinyl over the screw then apply the new thinner stickers.
