How about a helicoil?
Or some J-B weld?
Or even some silicone....if all you have to do is stop an air leak around a loose screw/bolt, it shouldn't require a new plate.
When I strip out a screw hole in wood I stuff the hole full of steel-wool and put the screw back in....problem solved.
Perhaps a rubber o-ring around the shank of the screw, under the head of the screw, or a small flat rubber washer, like a repair washer for a kitchen sink?
Lots of ideas....it might be than none of them will work. How about a photo?
Cheers!
