Unfortunately, with the thickness of the movement plates, it may be impossible to repair the threads if they are bad. I assume that they were stripped, necessitating the epoxy; I suppose it's possible that it's the wrong screw and too small for the hole but it seems unlikely.
I'd kindly disagree, that it is impossible. Just freaking difficult. Like doing a helicoil on an engine block. Except smaller. Granted, this is arm-chair quarterbacking at its finest.
All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
