I'm quoting a job that has a stainless 8-32 set screw bonded into a

Loctite 268, a stick type threadlocker, might work except for the
small size of the screw. I don't know if the 268 can be applied
cleanly to such a small screw or even if it will get down into the
threads. Anybody know?
Thanks,

I don't know how you're going to get clean threads with anything that
you apply, stick or liquid. When you screw the set screw home, it's
going to rub off on the female threads. They do make screws with
nylon locking spots that small, might not fit well with your bid,
though. Have some on my current laptop. Or bid two set screws, one
on top of the other. Have done that one, too.
