Re: How to tighten motor screws?

Use Loctite, particularly red or blue. The idea is NOT to have the screws unremovable, for the reason you mentioned--red and blue do not make the screws unremovable. They do, however, make it difficult for anybody without the proper screw removal tool to remove them, which is exactly what you want. Don't go overboard--one drop should be enough.
