I used JBWeld, but I assume it's similar stuff. What I did was grease the screw and then form the
JBWeld over/around the screw with some extra 'weld' over the plastic edges, and as the JBWeld set
up, I un-screwed the screw and it left a nice impression of the screw.  when the 'weld' hardened,
I used a knif and file to get the edges smooth to mate with the 'frame'.  I am now very careful to
NOT over tighten the screw, but it has held for 2 years now.
