Default Stripped screw in gas tank

Well it was inevitable that sooner or later I would pull a screw out of the plastic gas tank of 07 250. What do you think is the best way to fix?

1) Get an electric glue gun and fill the hole. Put the screw back in place and tape in place until glue sets up.

2) Buy a "fatter" sheet rock screw (the key is finding a screw that has very coarse threads) and shorten the length with a grinder so it won't go through the tank. If you go to a larger hardware store you should be able to find a lot of varieties of screws to choose from.
