My auto dim mirror came off. The screws are not self tapping, they are tri-lobe thread rolling screws. Minor difference, but the upshot is the end is tapered, which makes it easy for them to vibrate out. had my mirror fall off once, rescrewed. Got loose a second time, I replaced with stainless steel screws ( because, why not? I work for a hardware store) and added a bit of loctite. Your gorilla glue solution should work just as well, but I don't know how you managed to strip the threads on the plate.
