The problem screws are the four tiny ones that attach the outlet to the aluminium frame. The problem is that the screw heads are VERY soft and the philips slots are VERY small. The other screws are fine. It is way too easy to strip-out the heads. They really need to make those screws beefier. In my case I used 10ga wire, and trying to push the outlet and the leads back into the box, line up the holes with the frame and turn those f'ing little screws was the most difficult part of the entire re-wire job. Bigger slots and harder metal would be better.
