Get the right size O-ring and/or put some EZ-Turn fuel lube on it. It is a grease that is not dissolved by gasoline. Here's what I mean, but the seller is just an example to show the product:

Seems like 4/7 screws for the petcock also just freely spin if I tried to tighten them down too far, so I avoided stripping them.
From what you just said, they are already stripped.
