Well, since you stripped the screw, my point is moot, but if you get it out, do this.

Remove screw, center front sight, use a small screw driver or pointy tool thats small enough to fit down the screw hole, make a small mark on the slide. This is center or where you want your sight to stay. use a drillbit and only drill a fraction, you just want enough of an indent, so when you tighten the screw, it actually bites into the slide. Get some blue loctite, and put some on the threads, and then tighten.

I had this issue with a new 1911 I bought, loosened and fell off after 1 mag, did this, ive shot countless, and the sight has stayed solid.
