Sounds like you stripped the threads in the receiver. There are a few options:
- Have a larger hole drilled and tapped so you can put a larger screw in it.
- Peen the hole to push some metal into the screw hole to give the screw threads some metal to bite on. Do not overtighten!
- Epoxy the screw in place.
- There are liquid compounds that will "restore" the threads when applied inside a hole and the screw inserted. Similar to the epoxy method mentioned above.
