The best cure I have found for loose tuning pins is to put a sliver of mahogany veneer into the hole. When I replace the pin, this veneer gets crushed a bit and takes up the necessary room. This fix is quick, simple, and lasts for years of constant use. The bit of veneer that I have is 1/28" thick and a small square of it kept in your case can last a lifetime.
