stripped metal screw hole

On my thinkpad under the mouse button one of the little screwholes is stripped. Don't think I can replace for a bigger screw, and pretty sure its the hole that's stripped. Is there anything I could put in the hole like Araldite or Threadlocker to form a new thread for the screw? It just makes the left mouse button a bit inconsistent and very loud.

I fixed it.

Definitely don't try this yourself its a stupid solution.

I used a toothpick with a small drop of superglue into the hole. not a very strong thread, but its good enough.

The rattly click seemed to be related to the palmrest. Reseated the keyboard to fix that
