So I have a pretty rare SNES game that's been in my collection for about 12 years now. I recently opened it up to inspect the PCB. Somehow, someway, I managed to strip the inside of the left screw hole. Anyway, now the screw won't tighten like it used to and I can actually see the threads spiraling out of the hole a little bit. This has bummed me out considerably, since it is a pretty valuable game that I've cherished for a long time. My first thought was to replace the whole back of the cartridge with another game, but I noticed a number imprinted onto the back sticker label that, upon research, seems to help identify cartridge revisions. Then I thought about swapping the label too, but I'm afraid I will damage it in the process. To be fair, the screws still hold a little bit, so for the time being I've just left everything as is with the stripped screw holes. I haven't ruled out selling this game in the future, either. So I don't know what I should do. Any ideas?essay writer
