That’s an odd problem.  I do not think that stuff would work.  They might be stripping.  Let Canon fix it.

A dab of Blue LocTite would work.

 

Snug them up but use a JIS type screwdriver so you don’t mess up the screw heads.

I agree with using a JIS screwdriver too. They may look like a Philips head but they will be JIS.

This is why when somebody suggested on a different thread to try Grainger for Canon lens screws is a fruitless idea.

Places like Grainger carry nearly everything when it comes to hardware.  I have ordered plenty of replacement screws for electronic gear from Grainger for decades, including gear made overseas in Europe and Japan.

Good luck in finding those screws.  Have at it.  Smiley Very Happy
