Default Stripped gib thread fix?

First thing I'd try is to ream it with the same size tap in the hopes
that
may fix it ... sometimes worth a shot.


As an addition to that, I've occasionally found that reaming it out with
the
same size tap and then running some loctite #2 into the threads (semi
permanent loctite) will restore enough thread grab to hold for use.


Excellent point/suggestion ... Duh!, even have a couple of tubes, of
different types, hiding somewhere in the shop.

Thanks!
