The ones Chet shows pix of on the stripped neck screws thread look more like these...

Also, exactly what SIZE insert and screw? |
I would recommend 8-32 Inside thread. 10-32 insert outside dimensions puts them veryclose to the edge of the neck, and the body holes haveto be enlarged for the bigger screws.
8-32 is more than sufficient for clamping power.
8-32 vs. 10-32 comparison
