FYI, a trick I learned to replace self-stripping...er...I mean self-tapping
screws is this: When re-inserting the screw, back the screw off (i.e. turn
it counter-clockwise) until you feel a slight "click" (for lack of a better
adjective), then tighten the screw down.
What you are doing is finding the original threads. If you don't do this,
you will probably cut new threads. This is fine the first time you replace
the screw, but if you do it more than once, you're running the risk of
stripping the hole completely.
