Thanks for the input!
If you could get your mirrors fixed and focused, then you could lay the dish mirror-side down and coat with low-expansion foam over everything. This will help spread the load.

And as I'm thinking about this I thought "What if a mirror broke? How would one replace it?" An option would be to spray or brush cooking oil or something similar on the mirror backs. This would prevent the sticking and the foam would be right at the mirror back still supporting it.
