Hi,
If you glued and srewed your cross members to the board, should you come across one when fitting a point work out where it is on the cross member and cut the area needed with a boarding saw with two cuts and knock out the waste area ....... fit the point and your fine as the other part of the cross member if glued will not lose any strength holding the baseboard in place.
Saves having to hide surface mounted points.
