it'll be more likely to chip, crack, and probably won't last as long.

Countersinking is hard.  It may crack and chip.  It isn't going to last a long time.

ehh you probably wont be hitting it tooo hard. and just use adheisive to attach it instead of trying to countersink and your should be fine.

Take off the bottom piece of plywood or your box will rock when you jump onto it.

you will be fine if u liquid nails it. just put it on like glue and use clamps to get it on there tight. that should prevent cracking and if it does fall off eventually sand the liquid nails off then do it again.
