The biggest downside of putting it back together with epoxy glue is
that you'll never be able to take it apart again.

If the set screw just keeps coming loose, use some LockTite. It's
basically glue that works well enough to keep the screw from turning on
its own, but poorly enough to let go when you lean on it with a
screwdriver.
