Today I was rewiring my subs (2 re audio sr 12 's)and I must of messed up one of the terminal wire connectors because it wont tighten back down.They are the metal threaded type that you tighten with an allen wrench.If I took it to a shop should they be able to fix it ? Or does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?

What is stripped out? Is it the head of the allen screw, the threads of the screw, or the threads of the piece that the screw fits into?

I believe its the piece that the threads fit into , I checked the threads on the allen screw and they looked fine.

A drill Bit, a tap, and the next larger size screw may be in order.
