We have been using the M2.5 for most of ours and they have't stripped at all. I'm probably going to find a source for better set screws in the future and just replace them all.
I've also found some other variations in the gearboxes. I think we have bought around 12 of them and on occasion they don't have the alignment peg thing at all in one or two of the stages. We also had one of the snap rings come off and drop our shooter wheel to the floor. It was a quick fix but it did happen once. Like I said before they amazing and I wouldn't trade them for the world but they do have the occasional small problem.
