In this case Moose it's a design failure not a loose screw. There isn't 
enough surface area for the threads to grab plus the fact that the 
aluminum easily fails, has failed. Therefore I wouldn't recommend 
Loctite for this application. In most cases though that's what I grab 
first. I think I'll clean thoroughly with acetone and go for a light 
application of low viscosity epoxy.
