Barbaric seems a bit harsh. In my 1.25 acre yard in North Carolina I have routinely run into copperheads. They are aggressive and prone to biting but most of the time they stay out of the way and I ignore them. However when they are in the main part of the yard and get aggressive - they die. I have also seen small children around here (too young to stop from picking up snakes) pick up copperheads and get bitten or when lucky drop it before bitten. this is not in the undergrowth - this is in the grass on the lawn or even on concrete driveways. BTW - I have a Ball Python in my house - I'm not averse to snakes.

I'd say now you get it repaired before the screws lodge somewhere or short out something. Be sure to tell them the screws are inside the camera loose.

Why if they are applied from the inside would the frame have stripped threads? Maybe I'm not following what you are calling the frame? The part that came off is likely stripped I agree. The part still on the camera should be fine - if the screws originate inside (which kills my idea for removing them). Honestly the simple answer may indeed be JB Weld and done.

But the screws are up and not flush so a small vice grip may be able to grab them and turn them out slowly one at a time.

But his expressed main concern was Macro where I contend there is not a huge value to those features. So maybe his flash is over featured - he could sell it off and buy something simple to replace it if that's his main use. Over time he may refine what he needs and not need the 360.

If you use manual flash in macro or even omd style "auto" the PC cord connection can provide basic flash triggering without the hot shoe. Using brackets you can mount a pc cord attached dumb basic flash hot shoe to fire the flash. The only loss is hss and p-TTL.

Here's an example dumb hit shoe adapter that could be added to a flash bracket cold shoe.
