It is hard to strip those nuts since the adjuster should never come out.
Are your wedges OK? Are they there? They do wear.
If it is stripped out, maybe a used backplate or weld in a new nut.
The adjuster screw comes out from inside the brake drum, it will not
come out from the back side. You have to screw it all the way through
the backplate.
