The threads the screw is fine was doing an adjustment I guess it’s not meant to be taken in and out to much I’m very careful on the tightening of it

If the threads in the hole are OK, you can just go to the hardware store for a new one. It's a 4X.7 mm. Don't remember the length... prolly about 6-7mm.
If the receiving threads are bunged up, you could first try chasing/cleaning them with the proper-sized tap, plus a new screw.
If that is inadequate, you could tap threads the next size.
Careful not to let metal filings fall below.
