I had both the black and the galley handles come off. The first time (black), a friend and I dropped the black plastic panel and reattached it. With a cordless drill with the proper size socket it took only about 45 minutes. When the galley handle came off, I looked at all the propane lines, etc. and decided to call a mobile tech. He took a razor knife, cut an access through the panel, pushed the insulation out of the way and reattached it. When done, he drilled some holes and reattached the access panel with with nylon wire ties. Now I can gain access to those places in just a few minutes.

If you're lucky enough to screw it back on without having to drop the panel (or cut into it), you may not be out of the woods. On some (most?, all?) the shaft rotates in the valve, and as said before, turning it to thread it back on may not grab more than a few threads. You could turn it thousands of times and it wouldn't get any tighter. Good luck.
