Maybe the threads arn't matching up have you tried unscrewing a little and retrying if not then maybe get some new lug bars
Try to switch them around, I have a case where the top screw won't screw into the lower hole but the lower screw works with the top hole. Got to love these Chinese tolerances.
Heating up the case a little might also help, not too much so you won't damage the rubber components attached to the case. I had a case where the hole was clogged with gunk from the strap.
Try with a new screw a couple of times, sometimes it's hard to catch the correct thread.
Only force as last resort, take the strap out and spin the screw with pliers to prevent screwdriver slips. It'll most likely mess up the thread though. It only worked for me once.

You can use a tap to chase the threads. Thread might have a bur in it, But like Smokie said, a lot of times one works in one hole but not the other. SB are notorious for this too, i mark the SB/Lug bars when i pull them to help remember what goes where.
tha guys, i have switched bars many times. its only the top one that has issues. i can screw it in from the left side towards the middle, but putting it in from the right side is gets stuck half way,
u think force will help?

Force it with a plier and swap the screws with spring bars
There are spring bars simulating screws:
