Opened it up to check on the teeth, which look fine, but putting it back together (gently), these screws just spin.

What are my options? Loctite? I can't find the part that they screw into for sale.

Loose nut if you have the room, tap the threaded holes out to M4x.70. You won't have to drill it out as its plastic. Just make sure you have room for a M4 screw.
 
Also Loose nut, use button head Allen machine screws. The self- tapping screws strip out more easily then machine screws. Also the fine thread machine mm screws resists vibration better then the self- tapping screws. When ever I work or repair RC vehicles I change out the screws to M3's. You dont have to tap the holes out, just thread the machine screw into the holes,as they are only plastic parts. If going into aluminum you may want to retread the hole with a M3 x .5 tap. Just a suggestion to save you money and time.
