Lever can’t be tightened. What you can do is to change the valve inside.

how about the inside valve part? can easily replace?
last time i try to disassemble one. i have tried all sizes of hex keys/bits, from mm to inches. none of them fit the screw.

If you want to be able to change the valve then change the faucet to the one that can be replace the valve and parts available, for eg. DOE brand.

I use DOE, I don't know which other brand can do this. Better go to the bathroom store and ask

You need the one that can change and part easily available.

Is your faucet leaking? If not just let it be.
