Don't use thread lock on plastic parts, it will actually weaken the plastic and make it more likely to strip. Start with a new spindle, drill the hole for a setscrew if you like, and a fresh screw. Be careful not to over tighten the screw and you should be good. Check the screw after every few runs if you're not using a setscrew. If you have a setscrew it shouldn't ever loosen. If it strips again don't use thread lock, use CA glue.
