Stripped screw hole NVIDIA Shield portable

[SweatyWhiteJedi]

So I bought a used SHIELD portable and it's great in every way except for the fact that one of the screws for supporting the screen was missing and the screen has a slight wobble. I have tried a replacement screw from another part of the device but the hole is stripped.

Do you guys have any tips about what I can use to tighten the screen?

Super Glue?

Hot Glue?

You could use a larger screw but it would depend if it's just cutting it's own thread into the plastic, another method is to use a little super glue and baking soda to act as a filler to build up that loss or stripped material to use the original screw. Just be careful not to fill the entire screw hole.
