Without the pucture I am not sure what it looks line, but: if you clean the thread with solvent (degrease) , put some epoxy in, grease the screw and thread it in, so it comes out when you unscrew it...might do the trick.
Or put theflon tape inside and try to see if that works.
Pretty close to what John said with JB Weld.
Yes you got something to lose: the original cap. Backelite CANNOT be rethreaded.
