Default Rad screws hate me

So I have a black ice pro, and the screws that go through the fan and then screw into the rad, barely fight tightly in the rad. Almost to the point that it falls out itself. I was thinking of buying different screws, and then some nuts, to keep it secure. I was wondering how other people that might have had this problem dealt with it.

Yup, I have those exact screws, the problem is, the screws no longer grip the rad beause the holes are too big for the thread to grab. So yeah, I'm thinking of buying some different screws and some nuts to hold that sucka in.

I think they use 6x32 screws. If they are loose step up to a bigger one like a 8x32.
