I'll try the super glue. It's a limited edition US strat. Really wary of putting a drill anywhere near it.
Thanks Viva....
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
I'll try the super glue method first. Although the term arm is in the bin, I'm going to have to go rummaging through my rubbish. Not for the first time.
If it's a blind hole - a USA Strat will be - then you're going to have to drill it and use a thread extractor. Either that, or replace the block - which I would consider doing if you need to buy tools or pay someone to do it, it could work out cheaper.

Good luck.
@Poboy did you have any luck after?
For future reference, if you need to bend a trem arm to reposition it, take it off and do it in a vice, avoiding the threaded part which is by far the weakest section.
