Mods for beater/ set screws?

When im playing, the right beater on my double pedal consistantly flies out every 8 minutes... It is REALLY annoying, and I was wondering what I could do about it. I have two ideas in mind: put plumbing tape on the set screw threads so they dont come out unless i wrench with the key. OR I heard you could like dremel or drill a little dip into the beater rod so the one set screw goes in a lil bit deeper. the problem i have with the second idea is that it kills resale value and if i want a different length then its not really changable. Any help is apreciated, thanks for everything!

I agree, that would be a great solution, with no damage to any part of your pedal,

Could roughing up the beater shaft a bit work?

You can try some clear nail polish on the threads.  It will prevent the screw from backing out, and would be easy to break the bond if needed.  Are you sure that you are tightening the set screw enough in the first place?

I've never had trouble with removing blue thread locker from anything. I've had it on air fittings, and the hardware on my kit. Once the lock is broken, it flakes off, and whatever is left on it can be easily brushed or cleaned off. Red is practically permanent, so that's out of the question. It'll almost never get cleaned off. I stick to my recommendation of medium strength Locktite, since teflon tape isn't as robust a grip at looser levels of screw-tightness. <That's a technical term, by the way. 

Hasn't your Dad told you? Its not stealing...its fringe benefits.

Lol, I think I have a Magic: The Gathering card that has a similar quote:

"It's not stealing; it's more like extended borrowing..."
