Tell ya why we see stripped ones. It has nothing to do with the thread pitch. It happens because people don’t have the notch in the shift rod perfectly aligned with the screw hole before inserting the screw. If not aligned, the screw drags on the edge of the notch, which wipes the threads off the screw. Then attempting to tighten the damaged screw wipes the threads out of the connector piece.
Moral: Use a flashlight to peer in there and make sure the notch is perfectly aligned before inserting the screw. Do this and you won’t be stripping them.
