I wouldn't worry too much about the ring terminal on the wire turning with the screw a rotation or two. It's preferable to avoid if practical, of course, but it's not the end of the world if it twists a bit.
Alternately, cut the wire right next to the existing connector and crimp a new one on prior to reassembling. It might be a little difficult to find a terminal for such a thin wire, though.
Incidentally, that screw head looks to me like it's a.square drive (Robertson) screw such as is ubiquitous in RVs. If you don't have a #2 Robertson screwdriver, go to a hardware store post haste and buy a decent one. It's nearly impossible to do work on an RV without one.
