I would chase the threads with a tap, see if that helps.The chrome plating on the threads of the screw could also be cleaned up,sometimes that plating contributes to the problem.

If the stock screws go in all the way it sounds like he needs to run a Die nut down the thread on the chrome screws.

I looked up the part to try and find the thread size for you and discovered it's a self tapping screw part No 68042-99 which explains why it's tight.
