Tapping nut plates.

It is hard to believe that the EAA would put out a video telling people to cut out the deformed locking feature of a platenut, anchor nut or it pains me to say it nut plate.

Bolts are one thing. Access panel phillips - head screws are another, correct?
I had issues with stripping out the heads of phillips screws going into platenuts for the first time. Some past mentor suggested using a little boelube on the screw threads and this worked great. They went in easier the first time and once the nut plate has been used there has never been a problem getting the screws in again. I have not had any problem with screws backing out of a nut plate that I have used Boelube on.
He did say inspection plates
I'll say it one last time, then I give up. Engineering calls out a self locking feature because they deem it necessary. Running a tap through negates that feature. If you want to re-engineer your airplane, go ahead.
