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.

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
