and later be able to remove screw?  >>

   There is no need for a lubricant.  Coat the stripped hole with medium CA.
(Don't fill it up or the glue will squeeze out).  Then either spritz or dip
the screw into the activator.  Insert the screw.  Initially, it will be stuck
but will break free easily.  You should be able to tighten and loosen it as if
it were a new hole.

  If the first attempt produces a fit which is still too loose, simply repeat
the proceedure until a firm fit is acheived.

   The same basic proceedure will work for regulating screws and tuning pins.
