Resin Tank Screws Stripping

Anyone else have issues with the wee torx screws that go around the metal piece to install the FEP? 

I have two tanks and several screws on one are stripped, the screws on the other (newer) are still working but are really difficult to get in/out. 

Anyone else had this? Or has anyone replaced the screws with a different type? 

Thanks

I wonder if the Prusa-supplied screws are inferior in some way?  I'd be inclined to try quality screws from someone like McMaster-Carr (if you are in the States).

And I'd probably torque them to commonly recognized values for that type of screw.
