From what I understand (someone correct me if I'm wrong), is that if you tighten the screws too tight, you can break/dislodge the heli-coil. Once it's messed up, there's no going back. Anyway, I'm not so sure gorilla glue is a good idea.... I now hand tighten the screws and then use a screw driver to tighten further only 1/4 turn.
