I removed the footstrap screw from the board, wrapped it in heavy pink plumbers tape and reinserted to a fair degree of pressure. I don't trust it. Is there a method to repair my stuff up? Thanks for any help given.

Epoxy paste????

This^^^

Someone wth more experience may say different, by id try a thick mix of epoxy paste. Wax up the screw (so theres a thin thin layer on it) smear a good dollop of epoxy paste in the hole and gently screw in the screw to the bottom, wipe off the excess.(not with the footstrap on it) come back to it 2 days later and unscrew the screw. Will definitely require some forceful gentleness if you know what i mean.

Worth a go. If it were to part ways, its not something thats going to strand you out there. If that doesnt work, it might need a new footstrap insert.

other option is to compromise a bit and live with a different footstrap position.

If all else fails then just tap it to a bigger size. Might have to make the hole on the foot strap a bit bigger to get the bolt through but that should be easy.
