Unfortunately I have a power socket where the thread on one of the holes in the back box where the socket screw goes into has partially stripped which prevents the socket screw tightening properly.
While I could faff around and replace the back box it will be a bit of a pain, particularly as the room has just been decorated and the box is very deep in the wall (for reasons beyond me) is there a clever way of fixing the back box? I see there are 3.5mm taps on eBay but I wonder if that will fix it? Would a 4mm tap be too much?

Any help appreciated@tu*@tu*
