I think it's a hot climate issue. One of my cars I have to re-glue the mirror at least once a year.
I find if the car sits out in the sun, the mirror bond is going to fail eventually.

Something you've got going on is helping the screw loosen up if that keeps happening.

Worst case scenario is:

1) get the mirror seated on the metal pad

2) ink the screw tip

3) install screw tight

4) remove screw/mirror

5) gently, CAREFULLY, use a bit for drilling metal to make a shallow indent into the metal plate in just under the screw diameter

6) install mirror/screw with something for the screw to bite into and hold on the metal plate end.
