if the screw itself is stripped then you can get another at an auto parts store. if the part in the battery is stripped then you might find a heli coil to use or loctite makes a product that allows you to tighten a bolt about 25# but i don' tnow how it works electrically. Otherwise you 'll have to get another battery....
