Default Stripped holes in TLT axles

I just got servo/link mounts from Brando and installed the rear one yesterday. No rear steer. Well when I got outside an ran it for a minute, I noticed it was about to fall off. I guess I've taken the screws out of the servo mounting holes enough to strip them out. Theres still a little bit of theard left but not enough to hold the mount tight. Does anyone know a fix for this? Maybe pics of how it can be done. Coundn't find anything on it by searching. Thanks.

You can put a drop of CA in the hole and then thread the screw in.

Question

Put some hot glue on the screw, then screw it in?

Do what Franky said but throw in a couple of plastic shavings down the hole first and let dry. Also works for cracked holes too.

NEW axle cases $4.25 plus $7.99 for shipping
Two drops of CA and some plastic shavings priceless
