As the others have stated, tighten judiciously, but not overtight, stripped bolts are a buz kill. If you can isolate it with certainty to the rear frame / leather interface than I have read of success with dry lubes such as graphite powder used by locksmiths. With the sadle removed, push the leather away from the frame and get some graphite between the frame and leather. put it all back together and hope for the best.
