hey I have a stigma hyper v2, which was shorting out and a little rattly. I opened it up to find the two screws that hold the lid on were totally stripped. Upon trying to put it back together I found that the screw just wouldnt catch. Im pretty sure its not the screws so much as it is the female side.

So here is my question. I cant just get new screws so I need to rethead something. Right? What would you do? Can I just get a bigger screw or an american threading and jam it in there? Is there some kind of tiny tap I can use.

Builders help!

You'll need a tap set, gotta drill the old threads out and tap it to the next size up and get new Allen bolts.

If you can't get help with that locally, you are pretty close to me, ship it and I can fix those threads for you for the cost of shipping..
