Have someone who knows what they are doing drill and tap the nut to the next size and fabricate a new thumbscrew. Or if it is a nutplate, just have it replaced.

I've removed the thumbscrew and it looks OK but the window keeps sliding down because I can't put enough pressure through the thumbscrew. Mac McMahon N94184 VKX Friendly, MD
