stripped crossover terminal. need halp!

[timaishu 10+ year member]

Soo I recently aquired a blaupunkt vc100 tweeter set. Was brand new and had most everything in it. Only thing missing were two terminal screws on one of the crossovers.

Well, I went to a crap load of places to try and find replacements but with no luck.

So I took two slighly larger terminal screws and tried to re-thread them to a larger size.

Well.. The first re-thread worked perfectly. The second one somehow got all ****ed up. Stripped the screw and the terminal on the crossover. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

Is there a way I can fix this? I was thinking of maybe drilling out the ****ed up bits and trying to re-thread it again with a slightly larger screw.

Any thoughts?

just get a threading bit from lowe's, rethread the holes and get fitting screws. Win.

Do they come in different sizes and such? I dont want to jack this thing up. Not like I can easily replace it. Even blaupunkt was no help when I called them up.
