You need to replace O-ring 670. It gets compressed over time and loses sealing ability. Tightness of bolt doesn’t have much to do with sealing since it doesn’t press on O-ring.

As for stripped hole... try tapping to next size up, 7mm I think. USE TORQUE WRENCH on every single nut & bolt on bike! Without one, humans tend to over tighten little bolts and under tighten big ones.
