In fixing my loose implant the dentist stripped the screw head. Is he fixing it properly?

He stripped the screw. Then drilled out about half of it. He said he did not want to harm the implant. He plans to cement a new screw in. Is this the proper fix? If I have problems with it again in the future will the cement be able to come out?
