Greetings,

              I have found that reeeeely nursing the screw before beginning 
to turn it in, "hunting", if you will, (in order "feel and seek" and insure the 
absolutely correct previous helical path that the screw was in)  is the only 
way to treat this. It's tedious but this "hunting" feel or technique is 
obtained the more times you do it. It takes longer, at first, but thats the con of 
an alumininininummm action rail. These rails are a pain for this reason. 
(Actually, I don't see any pros for their use.) 
              Anyways, if you should strip the thread, I have heard of having 
to wrap teflon tape around the screw before replacing it again. Teflon tape 
comes in various thicknesses, although I don't know what they are, or which 
thickness to use for such an application.  I use the "nursing" method as 
described above and never had to use tape, so far, knock on wood.
