If the spring is there you might try stretching it a little to put more pressure on the screw head. If the spring is missing you can probably find a replacement at Ace Hardware. They generally have a good selection of small compression springs in those little drawers in the fastener section. It is about 3/8" long with an inside diameter of about 5/32". Good luck.
