You can use epoxy on the holes or along the gunwale.
If the canvas is porous enough you can bond it by painting epoxy on the outside and letting it penetrate to the wood.
It works with polyester fabric, I don't personally know about your canvas.
I wouldn't worry about trying staples around the screws.
However, several designers use staples along the entire length of the stringer - without glue.
A complete line of staples should take the strain off the screw holes, preventing it from tearing easily.
You can always use a hot air gun to soften the epoxy enough to peel the canvas off if necessary. Not very hard to do.
Don't worry about permanent.
