It would be easy to remove because lock tite is just like a time of rubber (plastic)compound just tap it with a hammer if you want to remove it.
Take a plier.. bend the "open" part of the shifter (the part where the screw is supposed to tightn the open part..) make the "gap" closer to so its harder to push on the threads but it still needs to be possible of corse.. then put the screw in, dont use locktite unless the screw is rattling out?!?! which I suppose it is not.
you could also just install and then bend the gap afterward with a plier .. makeing it more "tight" ..
Your problem is properly because the gap on the sh*ter where the screw goes down is too big.. therefore it is not properly tight.

What i ment with the lock tite is to put it on the spline of wich the shifter slides on to not the Bolt that tightens it.
I wouldn't JB Weld is great stuff--but not if you one day need to take apart something.
hey hears a solution had the same problem wat i did was take the shifter off and the bolt out and took my cut off and made the gap big so it sqeezes together more try it out
you can also use some emery cloth or a thin file to make the gap bigger if you don't have a cut off wheel. done it a few times before and works like a charm.
