stripped the threads

[bassist 4 life]

Hey, I stripped the threads of my strap lock screw and now I cant get it in, umm anybody have a solution for this? I couldnt find a screw that could fit because the heads are too big.

are you talking about the stap nut? or a strap lock. if its the nut i used gorilla glue and its more solid than it was before. if its the bolt for the strap lock i dont think i know what to do there sorry.

Its the screw .

Fill the hole with toothpicks and glue and reinstall the screw.

Or you can grind down the heads on other screws...

I did it by putting the screw shaft in a drill chuck and just ground it down.

I like to use saw dust mixed with Tite-Bond glue to fix a stripped hole in wood.
