Default The screws keeping my table top steady keep coming loose?

We've got one of those round tables with a centre column which fans
out at the bottom to give four legs (which makes it easier to push
chairs in/out etc).
There are four screws in the sides of the centre column which come
loose and when I tighten them it stays solid for a while but then they
come loose again.
I think i am screwing into a threaded metal slot so it's not like it's
wood that's worn away or anything.
I was thinking of putting some thin material around the screws and
then tightening them but was wondering if anybody had any other
suggestions?
Thanks, John
