does anyone have any recommendations for keeping the SP's helicoid secured? the top screw continues to loosen therefore causing the rangefinder to be off when set to infinity. I'm tempted to use screw abhesive as a means to secure it, but I want to in the near future to be able to remove it when giving the camera a CLA. are there any other alternatives?

Loctite blue. You can still remove screws. If that doesn't work, you need to do something more radical.
