You may need to get all the oil off those screws and their corresponding holes. A soak in some thinner should clean them up. If they're that loose, I would be tempted to add a teeny-tiny drop of Loktite as I was resetting the saddle's height. A very small drop, put on with a toothpick should stop this problem, even if you get some oil in there again. There are a couple different strengths of Loktite. Use the weakest, non-permanent type. If you use the ultra-strong variety, you may never be able to loosen those little allen screws again. And those small allen wrenches round over fairly easily. If those screws are "self-adjusting" just from normal string vibration, they gotta be a pretty sloppy fit. Maybe a good time to invest in a quality after-market bridge and saddles.
