What's the adjective for a screw which is not working anymore? It won't tighten or loosen.

Hi Daniel! Tradespeople say that "it's stripped." It's stripped; it won't tighten. It means that the threads are worn and no longer grip the material. You can strip the head of the screw too if a screwdriver won't tighten the screw.

Informally, I’d call it stuck.
