That is why you should carefully grind/file off the exposed threads on the screws before removing them. They are peened over at the factory so they don't vibrate loose. Never re-use them, either. They seem to yield when they are tightened properly. I don't think I've had more than one or two of them that didn't twist off when I tried to re-use them.
