Was it tapped? (Edit... I missed this question...)
What thread was it tapped to? Size / pitch? Are you using the correct screw size? (Length too as pointed out previously.)
Was the correct tap drill used to yield ~75% thread engagement? (You could use the number drills backwards to act as a plug gage to measure thread minor diameter)
If this is all checked, and good, blue loctite should work.
If all else fails McMaster Carr sells screws with a small patch of plastic embedded in them for vibration resistance.

it should be 8 / 32 thread - and if some one replaced the ignition and took the correct size thread stays out and re installed the china crap that come with most ignitions today
BTW - the thread inside of those stay screws is beyond garbage from china
my take is the stay screw internal threads
