It doesn't seem to impair functioning at all and the frame to grip interface seems relatively solid even without it; I was wondering if it was possible to live without that screw at all

Otherwise, I was thinking of completely patching the hole with JBWeld and drilling a new hole in it so the screw can then tap it

What do you guys think?
It's suppose to eliminate the horizontal play between the grip and frame making the grip much more stable during operation. THere's probably more to it than that though.

I don't know if JB Weld will withstand all that drilling you're about to perform. It may just crumble altogether...
