Have you considered plywood anchors? Maybe 1 foot square (or round), for
each "stake" location. Loop some 1/4" line with appropriate length through a
couple of holes in the center of each piece to connect the tent loop.

Burry the plywood anchors as deep as necessary.

I have no idea if this will stand up in wind, but it seems like it will.

at least 1 foot deep (that's as far as I dug looking for solid
ground........
