Build improvement idea for the Mini

I've been enjoying the Prusa Mini quite a bit and so far, I've really only had one major issue with it.

The guiding screws for the build plate are threaded. Why? If they would use bolts or remove the thread for the section sticking out, the build plate would always slide down.

I've ruined one side of a built plate, by putting the built plate back and have it get caught in one of the threads, resulting in one side of the plate being lifted. The probe doesn't seem to properly recognize the distance to the build plate on it's own, so the nozzle drove straight into the plate, trying to get lower and lower. 

Maybe a user error for not checking, that the plate didn't lie fully flat, though it was difficult to see, with the bed moved back all the way and the printer being inside an enclosure.

Imo. if there were no threads where the plate could get stuck in, this issue couldn't even occur.
