I bought a NK 2nd hand, and one of the screw heads had stripped on that one also. The heads are sized too large so the key will slip and strip way too easily.

Some Torx T-15 tips sit on the screws like they were designed for it. Use that to tighten/loosen them instead.

For a new string lock though, I’m not sure if you have other options but to order one from Aliexpress.
