Good use for silicone sealant.

Put a little silicone sealant on the screw threads then reinstall. Kind of like lock tite for wood. If the wood is stripped out use a longer screw (same size) . The bottom cabinet screws screw into the edge of the OSB floor, not much there to bite into.

We had the same problem.  I put some wood glue on the screws before reinserting then I had the trailer tires balanced to minimize shaking while traveling.  Both actions probably had an effect, but we have'nt had a loose screw since.
