Overfill the screw hole and, just before it sets, carefully slice the glue 
flush with a single edge razor blade (not too soon, not too late).  I've used 
several glue types - all worked.

Yes, there ARE versions of the Adaptall 2 mount that will shear off the 

reset button on your OM-4(T, Ti) lens mount.  But, you don't really have 

to chase down the version that does not - look at the Adaptall as you 

simulate mounting it.  If one of the screw heads will pass across the 

reset button as the mount is rotated, just fill that screw recess with 

5-minute epoxy.  Mine has been working fine like that for eight or nine 

months now.  Inspect it periodically to be sure that the epoxy hasn't 

fallen out.  If, for any reason, it becomes necessary to disassemble 

that mount for service (anyone heard of having to service an Adaptall 

mount?) just apply heat to the epoxy with a soldering iron.  It will 

soften and you can dig it out enough to remove the screw.
