A technique used to tighten grips that doesn't harm your Luger or its grips provided that you take care in tightening the screws is to use small neoprene "O" rings. These can be obtained in most good hardware stores and home centers like Lowes or Home Depot.

The neoprene ring crushes under the screwhead and provides a tighter grip on the area that has been mashed down by decades of use...

You can also judiciously use small dabs of hot glue applied to the inside of the grip. This can be easily removed by peeling when you need to... and it doesn't show. Make sure that you don't put so much glue that it impedes the insertion or removal of the magazine... the glue won't stick to the oiled metal surface but will form to it and provide a secure grip when it is cooled off.
