electrical talk

Due to a recent intruder I've got the front-door sensor light up and running. It's been little used in 15 years and one of the two screw-bulbs corroded in the fitting (salt air?). The glass bulb came out but left the metal thread behind. I managed to tear out the metal remains but the thread on the ceramic housing seems to have worn so that it's difficult to get a tight fit for the globe. I'm thinking of wrapping electrical tape (but any tape would probably do) around the screw of the light globe to give it more grip. Do you see any problems with that? Got a better idea?
