Binding screws in a rollerski shaft

Hi,

I switched bindings on my V2s from Profil to NNN. The front three ones
matched perfectly, so I only had to add a couple of wholes for the mid-
sole and heel.

Now, here is the problem. After a couple of hours on somewhat rough
pavement, I noticed that the front-most screws started to get loose.
Haven't checked the other two toe ones since they are covered with the
flexor, but probably will soon. I've tightened them up a couple of
times, but it only helps for a little while, since vibration loosens
them up again.

I wouldn't want to make the wholes bigger by wrapping the screws in
anything. Is there a way to maybe secure the screws from the top? I'm
sure others had this problem since aluminum shafts have so much less
for screws to hold on to than regular skis. Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch!

Loctite or perhaps a lock washer?
