Another option for a stripped thread
If there is enough thread depth and available supporting material around the tapped hole, you could use a HeliCoil or a Recoil
You retap the stripped thread with the HeliCoil or Recoil tap (special tap) and then screw and loctite in the replacement thread - it looks like a stainless steel spring, but its hardened stainless steel.
I did this on a friends EQ mount Azimuth adjustment threads - they were heavily worn and there was a lot of play in the thread and this did the trick perfectly and provided a new thread that will likely never wear.
It may not work if there are only a few threads.
