can't remove one of the screws that holds the back black panel on the faring out.
it seems to be the anchor is spinning.
what is the best way to remove the screw and secure the anchor (glue, jb weld, gorilla glue, etc).

I think everyone just pulls out on the screw as they unscrew, trying to get the housing to lock up against the inside of the fairing.  Once you get it out, just reinstall with Gorilla Glue or something equivalent.

I used JB weld. I'd suggest that you lube the screw with antisieze and screw it in. Then when the epoxy hardens the hole won't be filled and the screw will still come out.

Same issue on Mine.... just gently pulled out offending screw/s with the anchor/mount once all the others were loose and out. I think that I have JB welded most all of them back in. Just be careful when you do it to not get any JB or glue in the screw threads when you put the mounts back in or the screws wont seat all the way.... dont ask me how I know... >:(
