Generally screws are going to stay in the plastic parts without any help. If they won't, that part is probably stripped out or nearly so.
As mentioned you can put a drop of CA, or some other alternatives were listed (CA is the only one I have used) but the RIGHT thing to do is replace the plastic part that the screw won't stay in... and when you do, be careful not to over-tighten the screw and strip the part.

buy any chance are you having this problem with the left rear and right front lower shock screw? if so, x-ray solved this problem with reverse threaded screws for thoes two points. i'm going to try them in my 2.0, even though they are metric. when i had my 808, they never once backed out. no ca required...

& the 808 screws are silver so you wont get them confused with normal screws. Just cant get away from x-ray can you JR
