Go to an engineering workshop and ask them to spot-weld a nut over the existing hole. However, your mirror may be a little higher after that, unless you also modify the stem of the mirror. Should cost no more than $10 I think.

[dragonforce]

i dunno if any workshops have it.. but a die can cut the threads properly again.. maybe the threads is not worn off.. just impurities stuck there or some part of the thread have burr..

Can buy this item at good hardware shops. There's one at Ubi, called Homely. Power shop. Big at that.

You need something like Quiksteel.

 

1) Fill the hole with Quiksteel, oil the screw and screw it in.

2) Wait a few mins and "unscrew" the screw before the Quiksteel cures completely.

3) Then leave the Quiksteel to cure.

 

Done.
