I haven't screwed my slicks in years but I think Morosso or someone offered screws that were slightly over-sized for this.

Tried putting more pressure to install but does not seem to be working! Wondering what the next size screw is? Any other ideas?

If looks is not important then just move over and drill a new hole beside the ones that are bad, but if looks are important then disregard

as mentioned before the Moroso screws seem to be a little meatier than a standard screw of the same claimed size,I know when I changed screws after several slick changes the holes were getting sloppy but not stripped out, bought the Moroso's and all was tight again,, one other thing you might look into would be try to find a metric screw that is slightly larger in diameter than the 1/4 screw,, as far as balance, I personally think it would be neglegable but if you know someone that has a bubble balancer you could check it before and after if for nothing more than piece of mind.

4 things
Use good screws. I only use the Morosos.
Replace the screws. Screwing into the bead dulls the point on the screws. Two uses and they are done.
Drill a small starter hole in the tire. 1/16, 3/32 maybe.
Lube the screw (JB80) and apply pressure while screwing them in.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

5. Pump the slicks up to 18-20 pounds to push the beer against the wheel
6. Use so type of mechanical stop on the drill bit so you don’t drill through the slick. I always just wrapped black electrical tape around the drill bit for a stop and saved it for that specific job.

When you have a worn hole screwing slicks on I take a waste piece of aluminum from a aluminum pop rivet (the part that goes in the rivet gun) and cut it about 1/4" long, slip it in the hole and the screw will get traction again. Has saved me many times, much like using a toothpick in a wooden hole. Using an impact or pressure will just strip the aluminum out worse, take your time and use new screws if the one you have our dull, never have had to drill the tire???

A plastic zip tie will tighten it right up. Slide the zip tie in the hole with the screw and use an electric impact or drill and they will go in just fine.

changed slicks several times, holes got worn out , get a flat pin punch bigger then hole, tap hole flat it will tighten up
all parts are sold as is, all parts are considered used no warranties or returns paypal/check/money order, shipping is from zip 02891, buyer pays paypal fees 24% IRS 1099A plus 3% of part price, check/money order preferred site is not monitored 24/7 there might be a delay in response
