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.
