I attached (I hope) a picture of a previous thread, how I dealt with mine. The problem is that the threads in that roller mechanism carry the weight of the door and must turn every time the door opens and closes. It eventually strips out. I installed a bolt from the top down after drilling out the threads in the roller mechanism. Because of clearances you likely have to drill a hole in the top of the door to allow room for a Bolt head.
