Needless to say, whatever that screw screws into is now stripped, and the wheel won't stay on now!

I've already looked through the manual to determine what part I managed to strip out, but I cant figure it out. Does anyone know what part I need to replace to make my wheel stay on again??
It's page 27 of the manual, all that holds the wheel screw on is an M3 lock nut. Are you sure that the lock nut didn't just fall out? Sometimes you can accidentally push the nut out when your trying to screw the wheels back on. Most people put a drop of CA glue on them so they stay in place.

If you did strip it its not a big deal, like I said its just an M3 lock nut.
