For stripped screws in sheet metal, put a bent piece of wire in the hole and re-try the screw. You can also use a piece of nylon fishing line.




I have used .030 Mig wire single or doubled if it is really too big, works fine and helps the electrical contact.

cut an inch of wire, make a V out of it, put one end in the hole and the other outside the hole. That takes up the extra room.
