A properly installed larger screw makes sense to me.
These switches are normally installed with a single screw and left loose enough to rotate (with some difficulty). This way, when the cable is pulled the switch lines up with it so that the plug can pull out instead of bending and possibly breaking.

It does seem likely that either the hole was drilled oversize, or the screw was over-torqued to strip the minimal thread engagement that a self-tapping screw in thin material like this gets.
