Funny. I've never had this sort of an issue with any of the gazillion Floyds and Schaller lic'd Floyds I've had. Seriously. Stuck fine tuners? Yeah. Loose arm collars? Yeah. Wonky arms? Yup. But never this. Sorry I'm no help.

No doubt! lolz.

What the fug are people doing to strip out their saddle screws?

I mean, take everything apart, lightly oil the parts and put back together without over-tightening the damn parts once in a while but...

Jeeze Louise, the only thing that should be wearing out are the knife edges and those are hardened steel inserts. lolz.

My Cents trem came to me partly stripped so I've needed a baseplate since I bought it...

Does anybody make a nice hardened steel or titanium baseplate? I'll try the helicoil if I have any problems, but it sure would be nice to make something tough enough to handle the abuse they take.

edit: Crap.... I just looked on Google and voilá: http://www.floydrose.com/bridges/FloydRoseUltimateTitaniumTremolo.php

This project is gonna get expensive

Yes! I already told you this! The new Schaller baseplate has steel inserts for the saddle screws (meaning IT WILL NOT STRIP). Check the pics here to see the one I bought http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/57029-wanted-hamer-schaller-floyd-rose/

If it's not too much of a hassle to get one from overseas, I might go that route. The price is right...
