My phillips head screws look like they have been loctited fully in and all I'm doing is rounding off the heads. I've a spare cage but no screws. Does anyone know the size so that in can order some. From looking at other forums, hex heads are recommended.

Thanks Wack 63. And in a separate eureka moment I came across these loose screws from a PC that I stripped. They are M3 and some are of the correct length, but they are stainless steel, rather than brass, but don't think that will be an issue.

Just make sure to put a dab of Loctite on them, then just gently nip up. Also check the heads allow the block to fully seat flat in the cylinder.

It's not just me that does that then.
