This might be a real dumb question-
Would it be feasable to create a field strip screw out of aluminum instead of using SS? I don't know if an aluminum screw would be able to withstand the cycling of the valve, but my thought is, with several guys already cross threading thier X-valves, would making a softer screw help? I think that the aluminum might sheer off, but I don't know all of the specifics-
Just a thought.
