Cracked Holley Main Body?

Hey guys i was doing a jet swap on my 4150 and everything went fine until I was tightening the 4 screws that hold the primary fuel bowl body to the main body. I must of over tightened the bottom right screw and it no longer will get tight, it will just take a little torque and it stays mildly loose. Its not leaking fuel but i'm worried over time its going to. Is there any ways i can fix this? Thanks guys
