I pulled all of my aluminum trim strip and resealed it. Bought new plastic screw cover for everything, too. I almost got it all sealed. As you surmised, water can enter under the screw cover and migrates around and along the screws. I went back and sealed all the screws, adding a piece of Eternabond tape to the joint where the trim meets my metal roof. No more leaks.
If I was to do this again, I'd use a strip of Eternabond Doublestick tape under the aluminum trim. When you screw through it, it seals the screw and hole completely.
