My silver Orsa did the same thing. It has one screw that always finds its way loose. No matter how hard I try to tighten it. It also does not fit flush. My Lume on the other hand is perfect.

At least you dont have to replace the case because of the stripped threads.  One of the things I like about the screwed 'connecting' rods.  I have one though on my Lume that will screw in so far, but not as far as the others.  Its tight and will unscrew, but sticks out a hair from the case.

Most of that is the head of the screws. the cases stay the same. My stowa had the same problem .screw wasn't flush. reshaped it with my dremel then polished it. looks great.
