Try greasing the screw first, then use it to hold the nut in place, tighten it just enough to hold the nut where it belongs. Remove it after the glue is set up but before it's fully hardened, again carefully. You might want to hold the nut in place, try some plastic wrap so it doesn't stick to your fingers.
I'd probably use 5 minute epoxy instead of CA glue, but then again I've got a shelf full of different glues (not always an advantage, just replaced my CA glues with a direct Starbond order because they were old enough they turned into goo in the bottles, remembered to date them this time) and perhaps I'm a bit excessive.
Post some pictures; if you upload them to the site then resize to somewhere around 640 wide and save our fearless leader some disk space. YouTube video (no music overdub, steppers sound fine on their own) is great too, just remember to make it public.
