For the SC10 hexes, the problem is that once they're stripped, going to a 2mm longer screw doesn't help, as you still only have 2mm of thread to work with. If you "upgrade" from the start, then it might help. Like dizzy1 though, the first one I installed stripped before it could clamp onto the axle.
I re-tapped mine to 2-56 and used 1/4" screws. No need to drill for the tap, but I did have to drill the untapped side for the screw to go in. I also compressed the hex with a pair of pliers while installing.
