Anybody have any bright ideas for stripped threads in a socket mounting

one last option, not especially recommended, but does work. If you have
2 or 3 machine screws with the same thread, you can force the first one
in full depth and remove it, then you've got a workable thread for the
2nd screw.

If you then run a 2nd threading screw you';ll then have a perfect
thread for the 3rd, rather than a stiff fit.

Again, good idea- indeed Ive used that option on other things in my past and
works well!
