Default Tonneau / Top stud repair

I'm sure I can't be the only one to have this happen so here goes.........one of the studs for securing the tonneau and top has come loose on the driver side door. It just pulls out as the hole is now too big for the threads to bite. I put a dab of epoxy on it last night and hope it does the trick. If it doesn't, how have any of you fixed this kind of problem? Do they make these studs with regular treads for a nut and washer? Do they make over sized threads? I can get at this one if I take the door liner out.

All input is greatly appreciated.
