Fixing stripped thread

@nevenbekriev thanks for the detailed response. I suspect making the part will be my only choice.

The hole is already too big for a 0.8mm screw. And the screw in question is the one that's sandwiched between the main plate and the barrel bridge, with the head flush with the top of the bridge. It's not a normal screw (it's a normal setting lever screw though).

So I have no choice really other than to use this screw. The hole in the setting lever is already big enough to just slide up and down the screw. I could try and close the hole up, but there isn't much metal there to squish back in.

I'd said 0.8mm as that's what you'd mentioned in an earlier
post but it depends if the problem is the screw or the lever?

Assorted setting lever screws are also available but not the cheapest
option without knowing if there are any larger screw anyway.

These only go to 0.85mm which may just re-tap themselves into the lever.
