The threads actually bite into the cork, not the alumunum.

So you likely have the cork seals, else the screws wil fall out.

Ahhh

Hence the Gently in the phrase "gently turn the idle screws all the way in, then turn out 1 1/2 turns..."

I guess cork is one thing that would strip out even easier than aluminum.
