Hi my friend's PC case side panel screw thread is like loose so when we tighten the thumbscrews they just keep spinning and won't tighten. Where can I find replacements or is there a way to fix it?

What is meausre of glass?

 

Um it's the screw hole that's the problem I think not the glass. Like when we remove the glass, the screw will just spin and won't tighten. Only 2 screw holes have this problem the other 2 work like normal.

The screw hole is either too big or stripped then.
