I will agree with Gus - a 2-56 is my "standard" modeling screw. If you can possibly drill and tap the hole for a 2-56, go that route. Ace hardware sells 2-56 screws, but the tap you would likely have to go to a hobby shop for. "classic" (pre atherarn) MDC used 2-56 screws for many things - so it is possible you would not even need to tap the hole.
But I am confused as to your description of the problem. Any way you can post a picture? Make sure the parts are actually fitting tight and not binding anywhere and that you are not cross threading the screw.
