I have a No1 Mk III that the rear swivel holes are stripped. The screws look like they are original, but not much taper, big threads and a blunt point. Not a great combination to cut threads in wood. I am trying to use wood from a elm tree to glue a piece in there so I can drill and hopefully rethread the hole. But it seems that the screws do not thread very well due to their design. Is their a great system out there developed by some members to address this problem? I don't really feel that this effort is going to work. My carpenter cousin suggested I use a golf tee to glue into the hole to fill it and rethread. Don't want to change screws as they match all the rest.

thanks all,
