I think you should just buy a new clarinet. [rotate]

But seriously.... Do you already have some clear nail polish lying around the house. If you do, why not try it first. Clarinetists have been using it for years and you could try it today. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't, If it does... problem solved. If it doesn't, no real harm done (unless the screw comes out and you lose it [frown]

or you screw up (pun intended) a solo).

If nail polish, doesn't work, then you might try Loctite. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't, If it does... problem solved. If it doesn't, no real harm done (as long as you use the right Loctite and don't lose the screw). If Loctite doesn't work, you can take your clarinet to a repair tech... or you can try my original solution.)

Oh, and regularly oiling all your keys is always a good idea, IMO.

Best regards,
jnk
