Can a door threshold be adjusted?

Raise the threshold where light enters by turning the nearest screws counterclockwise. Set a straightedge (such as a framing square) on the threshold and adjust the other screws to make sure the adjustable strip is straight. Close the door and check for light. Readjust the threshold until you've eliminated the light.

I would remove 1 of the remaining screws and check thread metric or SAE for replacement. Blow out the threads before replacement.
OR Amazon has several types of adjustable door sweeps
