Cant block wordpress readme files

You don’t really need these:

Redirect 404 /install.php
Redirect 404 readme.html

To block readme.html you do this: 

<files readme.html>
         order allow,deny
         deny from all
</files>

For other kind of files you need do the same just change file name in code.
