It depends... If the fuse is loose because some foreign object (like a multimeter probe) had been jammed into the socket you might be able to pry the socket closed with a jewlers screwdriver and restore the grip. If that doesn't work, you could insert a thin shim. I have seen this problem when the fuse tap for an after-market foglight kit is removed. The only fix is to put the tap back in because the socket is sprung. If the fuse is loose from overheating...I've seen fuse blocks ruined because the (old style glass) fuse was wrapped with aluminum foil and jammed back in because the fuse kept blowing. If the fuse doesn't burn then something else will. The overheating will take the temper out of the socket and the only fix is to replace the socket. Good luck.
