The 'blue' grades of Loctite are designed to allow removal with hand 
tools, and 242/243 is superb for antennas and rotators. However, these 
grades may be too strong for use with very small screws.

Maybe you could try one of the 'pink' grades of Loctite which are 
specifically designed for small instrument screws and clock repairs.
