Default stripped beadlock screws

Surely..I cant be the only one with a few stripped beadlock screws.. what does everyone else do when the screws just don't get tight anymore and keep spinning in the wheel?

A little bit of super glue in the hole let it sit for a minute and put in the screw.

A little bit of super glue or epoxy in the hole let it sit for a minute and put in the screw.

the trick is...........don't strip the screws!!

Well, allright, I think I have about 4 screws stripped out over all.

Not to hijack, but the beadlock screws are m2 x 8mm right?
Might be able to get a m2.5 started, and let it cut new threads.

I was going to suggest the super glue trick to. Do it all the time at work on machine control panels that operators are to rough with.

They should come out just fine if you let the glue dry for a bit first. The idea is to add material in the hole to allow threads to grab, NOT to actually glue the screw in place.
