So I've managed to strip the two screws near the rear (closest to the power button) that you remove to install a speedfeed when I installed my new HK Feed (which works great btw). I know that accidents happen and I might need to remove the screws again, But honestly I'm just thinking about supergluing the screws into place. Should I buy a replcement piece or can I just go ahead and glue it? If I need to buy any replacements, how much would it cost and where can I buy it?
Thanks for your time, have yourselves a good one.

Just to make sure, its in the roter? All you need to do is take a bit of elmers glue, and try to get little bits of tooth pick in it, depending on how big the screws are and screw it in right away.
