I say take the titanium screws out (the 3 good ones) because titanium and aluminum form a bond that is not associated with steel screws in aluminum. Meaning titanium screws should not be used when threaded into aluminum (the block of your motor is aluminum).

So to remedy this situation I would replace the 3 titanium screws with the stock screws and just run it with 3 tightened screws. Leave the broken screw where it lays.
