I had to tear into mine recently to add some nut plates. I used a small cutting wheel on the dremel to cut out about a 1.5" X 1" rectangle just forward of the spar. You can dig out the foam and see what you have and flox in new nut plates if you need to. Repairs are fairly easy. Just stuff in a chunk of foam, sand down to the glass a couple of inches around the hole, and put on two plies of glass. I didn't even need any filler, just five or six coats of smooth prime and some sanding.

I don't know what is under the glass, I hope he didn't put them in to the wood spar. I was actually hoping he glassed over some alum. I have a call in to him for some answers. Thanks again.
