(Drill chuck scuffs up da threads. It's unsightly)
Nah, you jes' run a nut onto the screw. Straightens the threads back out when you back it off. Figgered that out chopping them off with a Dremel cutoff wheel.

Of course, there's nylon screws, too. Not real confident in 'em, though.

Gotta check who was on dat porch. May be a hotbed of gender confusion.
