The tuner is as you describe. The problem is not the screws, they are metal. The ring holding the screws is made of plastic and the plastic threads inside of it have degraded. Behind this ring, there are small coils that the screws formerly moved in and out of when adjusted.

I do have some parts tvs of similar vintage and design, but the plastic on these is probably deteriorated also, I have not checked.
