Found this article, EXCELLENT for the guys building (do it NOW, before you install your windshield) and for cars that have been built and encounter the stripped windshield screws.

The other option is the Whitby Motorcars SS Windshield Inserts http://www.whitbymotorsports.com/UInvDetail.asp?s_keyword=windshield&s_cat=&inventoryid=1579
This is the direction I went last year, after stripping out both top screws and 1 lower screw (grumble, grumble). with original Brass inserts, stripping them is very easy to do!!

Doing this before assembling your car is SO MUCH EASIER.
 
They strip VERY easily (ask me how I know).
The top smallest screw is a bitch to install and most likely to strip.
