So I was attempting to install kevinakasam's belt mod and I'm fairly sure I stripped the thread that holds the M4 screw in the outer right side of the X axis profile (the side without the extruder attached to the tensioner). How screwed am I? Could I get away with trying Loctite red?

Pics for reference!

Edit: Thanks a ton everyone, I'll keep you all up to date when I try to finish the project this weekend!

If I recall correctly that hole goes all the way through the extrusion.

Worst case you can use a bolt and nut.

In the V2, the other side is occupied by a screw holding the tensioner in, but I was told I could use a T-nut and that would save me a lot of headache

Tnut should do the trick. If not you could use the same bolt all the way through for the tensioner but that might be a pain to line up right.
