What kind of glue to use?

I use a Ton Kooiman thumb rest. Two screws hold the plate on. One of the two screws keeps coming out because I've managed to make the hole a bit bigger and deeper than it originally was. When it comes loose, I'm in trouble. I've tried using "Tacky Glue," and it holds in the screw fine for a few days, then it works itself loose again. I'm certain none of you would recommend I use epoxy, but I'm out of ideas on what to do to keep the screw in. Should I try a longer screw than the one I'm using that is about 3mm long? How long of a screw do I dare try? Is there another type of glue I should try? Should I have a repair person fill in the hole with something then re-drill it so it's the right length and width? Thanks for your suggestions.
