Stripped post fix

Curious what you guys use to repair stripped posts. I don’t want to use something permanent (crazy glue) but maybe something like thread locker “blue”
Any advice?

I don't think you can use threadlocker with plastic.
I definitely wouldn't use Krazy glue, you'd probably destroy the plastic if you needed to take it apart again.
Sometimes you can find a slightly larger diameter screw at a hardware store.
If you go too big, it'll split the plastic.
I've gotten larger screws and heated them with a flame a bit so they will turn new threads into the plastic.
Of course, if you get it too hot, you'll ruin the plastic.

Yep either slightly larger as Tin said or super glue mixed with saw dust or baking soda, then just ream the screw in.
