Squiggle motors have specially designed screws and housings. The screws are
not tight and the housing is very flexible and designed to flex in a
specific way. That principle doesn't apply to regular screws tightened into
a regular threaded hole.

Unless you can cause enough vibration to distort the thing the screw is
tightened into, its not going anywhere.
