you can either get a tap and try to rethread it to the same size or slightly larger or get the next size larger screw whether it be metric or standard and try to accomplish the same thing as a tap would by slowly working the screw in and out of the terminal,hopefully cutting new threads. You can rub some candle wax or maybe even some bar soap on the screw to help keep it from seizing up when you are trying to cut the new threads. It may take a bit to do it but it should work. I used the same method to convert an old alpine amp from shitty stripped out phillips head screws to hex head set screws.

take the set screw to a hardware store and get a tap to match and chase out the threads.

if you ripped the threads out you best bet is to take to a shop. dont try to drill it out!!! it needs to be drilled .010-.020 at a time keep stepping up the drill til you get to size or you will damage the pcb...

Eh, that could lead to an iffy connection...I'd just solder a wire to it

then strip alot of the wire coading off, jam it in there, and then tape it in

lol

i had the same problem with one of my amp i just fill the hole with jb weld and re tap the holes works perfect for me

Its just the remote wire. Strip off a bunch of wire, fold it up and jam it in the hole and solder it. If you cant solder, use hot glue, itll hold it.
