 Re: Stripped out threads for key's flat spring screw?

The best remedy is to enlarge the screw hole and soft solder a piece of appropriately sized brass or nickel silver rod in there, file the end of the rod (that's protruding from the hole) flush with the underside of the key, then drill a new hole into the rod and tap the hole to receive the flat screw spring or a new one (with the same thread as the tap you used).
