may want to turn the ski the other way and have it remounted so you have a fresh hole

not at unless you have all the shit at your house that your giong to need. which would be the right Jig, the helicoil, the right drill bit which is super important, a posedrive screwdriver. might want to have the shop apexy your screws in so those bastards never come lose

wood glue and drill the holes small so you have to screw them in really tight

i was going to say wood glue but it looks like this kid has had this problem a couple times. have the shop put the screws in by hand might help.
