Update: Took my MacBook to an Apple store, and they said they'd replaced the top case and keyboard with a stronger plastic. No issues whatsoever, they recognized the problem right away. Left my MacBook there and picked it up 2 days later, but apparently they had bent a metal bar during the installation process that blocked the CD drive, so I had to bring it back to have that fixed (on the spot). Other than that bent metal bar, no issues whatsoever and now my issues have been completely resolved.
