Our FD responded to just that problem a few weeks ago. LP delivery man tried to tighten the screws and one twisted off, and a second failed when the pressure twisted the body of the gauge in the hole. Pretty good leak. Of course it was full. LP guy attached his line to the valve and tried to pump it off, but went too fast and the high flow valve snapped shut. Then wouldn't release so could not disconnect the truck. So now leaking tank with 800 gallons in it tied to a loaded truck sitting 20' away. Thankfully no sparks nearby.
We put a wood block on the gauge and wrapped a 2" ratchet strap around the tank and tightened to force it against the seal, until we bent the ratchet handle. Barely slowed it down. Gave up on that idea and put a couple fog nozzles on it to keep the gas dispersed until a second LP truck and spark proof tools arrived. They got the first truck line removed and allowed them to pump it off with second truck. About a 3 hour process by the time we were released.
