Oh, to explain why I would put them over the damaged wood. There is no easy way to remove the wood. You would have to remove the slide (IMHO) in order to cut away or otherwise replace the wood.

The stainless steel sheets are able to withstand the stresses of the slide, without bending or deforming. If you are really worried, use 16ga.

Stainless steel is extremely tough. You have to use a cobalt drill bit to drill it. You can use a hacksaw to cut it, but are much better off if you have it cut professionally.
