Yup. Take a look at this post here:

It's not that they wear out, but the collar that holds the head of the screw breaks, so the screw moves in and out but the light doesn't move. You can't get the part, so either you do a transplant from a junkyard or get a new light.
I had a MacGuyver work around temp fix. I was able to stick a rubber ball between the light and the can that kept the screw head in the tab. YMMV on that one.
