Using loctite on a stripped screw

I changed my distributor cap and rotor. The bottom screw for the cap came off too easily, hmmm, so when I put the 3 screws back on with the new cap, the bottom screw wouldn't tighten. Darn, darn.

This is not a good place to heliarc the aluminum head. So, my question is this: could I use a dab of red loctite to keep the screw from backing out? The other two screws should be enough to keep the cap tight.

Thanks,

Klaus
