Changing the balance of an older Predator 5k4 cue

I have an older model Predator 5k4 cue which I like, but I don't like the balance, I like rear balanced cues.
This cue doesn't have a Uni-Loc Weight Cartridge System, it has weight screws like this:

I tried to replace the screw in it with a heavier one, but it didn't change the balance point much, it just made the cue heavier, reason for it is that the cue screws in the butt about 2 inches from the butt end, maybe even more.
I can change the balance by unscrewing the screw up to the butt cap, but then the screw wiggles a little and when I hit the CB it makes a weird sound.
Any solutions?
