WARNING TO ALL AFTERMATH KRAKEN AK47 OWNERS

RE: Easily stripped fire selector screw threading

I am a fan of tight fire selectors so I often tighten my AK fire selector screw after every game. Well today I disassembled my AK in hopes of doing a bolt hold open mod. When I went back to put the AK fire selector back in, I noticed two small metal spirals on my screws. Much to my horror, these metal sprials used to be the threads from my mechbox. So now my screw has nothing to anchor onto. I belive this was caused due to my overtightening of the screw, but then again they could have used a longer screw there's at least 25% more room for additional threading by my estimate.

What should I do now?
