I had shot came home to clean it and noticed the screws recommended to loctite were loose so when I put it back together I loctited them. I just got replacement anti-strip screws and went to put them on and low and behold one of my original screws........ STRIPPED on me so now I have the fun task of getting that screw out
So learn from me if you don't want to be in the same predicement don't loctite the original screws wait for the anti-strip

I'm curious, did you strip the head of the screw or the actual threads?  I have one of the first 1000 GSGs made and I've had mine locktited in and removed them numerous times.  Mine are still ok.  Yes I'm talking about the 3 in the top cover of the bolt.

I stripped the Torx screws that hold together the receiver halfs. To get them out, I took the next largest Torx bit and hammered it into the screw. This got a a good enough grip to get them out. They were loctited by the way. The factory screws suck.

I managed to strip the screw that holds the cocking tube on.   Luckily I already purchased the replacement set of bolts/nuts and didn't notice the stripped ones until it was being replaced.
