Do you think this would work as the hinge for a door hidden in a bookshelf? Like mount vertically in the doorway with the table turned shelf surface facing away from the hidden room?

Only trouble is figuring how to work the latch from outside the door, which would effectively be trying to unlatch it from above the table. Pulleys and such would do it. You'd probably want at least one additional hinge to help support the door unless it ends up being very light.

Everyone is correct that you should go to the hardware store for new hardware. Stripping any screws will be a bad time. I still manage to strip 1 screw going into the wood top from underneath. If you have an impact drill, you will get better results. I switched to impact and the rest of the screws went in without stripping. The rest of the screws besides the stripped one keep it secure enough and it doesn't move.
If you get additional hardware, be sure to not get longer screws for the underside of the wooden top. I got 1/2" too long and it was enough to have a slight bulge on top of the wooden surface. I used washers for the wood screw just so it wouldn't go in as far. It didn't break through, and you can't even see it. If you run your hand over the spots, you can slightly feel it.
You can do the install with 1 person. when you get to the step where you have to screw in the support into the wooden top, you can sit and rest the middle of the board on your head. Make sure you have the opposite support engaged so you aren't resting the entire weight on your head. I had it mounted at 40" up and I was able to sit on the floor, rest the top on my head, and screw it in.
"Measure twice and cut once." Take your time to get the supports plumb and level so you don't have to murder your wall with multiple holes. I took my time and got it right the first time.
I recommend a flush door from your local hardware store. Will probably run you like $120. 1 strong person could easily toss one around. I'm like 130lbs and carrying one around wasn't too bad.
I've done this and tiled them. I have a 160" long x 38" deep 'desktop.'
Do you have brackets you could recommend?
I skipped the soft close. 99% of the time, it is going to be a desk for me.
