Stormtrooper misses, redshirt dies anyway.

Stormtrooper misses, hitting something else that falls on redshirt, easy.

Plastic rocks. Plastic rocks fall on the redshirt

Task failed successfully.

I mean, the redshirt is there to show that the protagonists are in actual real danger. Just like the stormtroopers managed to hit every nameless rebel soldier on the Tantive IV they should be able to hit redshirts with incredible precision.

Excluding clone-troopers and only in live acted Star Wars, Stormtroopers (sometime from off screen) have hit:
- All kinds of rebels on various planets in "Andor"
- A whole bunch of rebels in "rogue one"
- A bunch of rebels on the Tantive IV
- Leia (with a stunner) on the Tantive IV
- All those poor Jaws, plus Luke’s family.
- The hull of the millennium falcon (to no effect)
- A bunch of rebels on Hoth
- C-3P0 in cloud city
- Luke’s lightsaber blade in cloud city
- Leia on endor’s forest moon
- R2D2 on endor’s forest moon
- At least a few ewoks on endor’s forest moon.
- Din Djarin’s beskar armor
- A bunch of other mandaloroans and extras
- Some of those turtle-riding aliens in a distant galaxy in "Asoka"
- A bunch of innocent villagers on Jaku
- Poe’s parked X-wing (to great effect!)
- Poe in the arm
- Rei’s lightsaber blade a bunch of times
- The hull of the millennium falcon (again, to no effect)
I think stormtroopers are more effective than Klingons, federation red-shirts, or the borg.

The stormtrooper is female … she fires, misses and nearly kills the redshirt … reshirt recovers and the stormtrooper is so overwhelmed with grief that they become close friends … after a six month relationship, they get married and a year later have a child … the child turns out to be a half human half wookie … the birth severely complicates their marriage

The half human-wook child grows up vengeful that their parents were both throwaways by their respective leadership. The child becomes the next emperor and destroys the Federation.

Have you considered a career as a writer? I would buy this book.

This changes the scenario significantly, though.
Your original version had original series Stormtroopers, who are known to be crack shots and elites among the Empire's forces. There's a common misconception that they're bad aims, because in the first movie they were ordered to let Leia escape. They were showing tremendous marksmanship and discipline to miss all those shots while looking like they were trying to hit and allowing many of them to get killed in the process.
Your new version has a First Order trooper. The First Order is some kind of weird fever dream that never really existed and whose capabilities varied wildly from movie to movie as the different writers and directors made up contradictory shit without any plan or consistency. So who knows.
In both versions, the Starfleet security officer's famous flimsiness should be noted in the context we see it in - constantly encountering unique and/or wildly advanced threats. Little wonder so many of them died, they had no idea what they were up against.
