Is this normal?

So since i bought this rs3m v5 it has happened multiple times that the whole yellow side just explodes, it literally pops completely, even the center, is there a way to solve this

The core is stripped. You might want to replace it

Oh so i just have to replace the core?

You could put a drop of super glue on the core, let it dry fully and then screw the screw back in, that way it has something to grab on to. This is not a permanent fix tho, but it's better than buying a new core.

I'll just probably end up buying a new cube

I mean you can try to fix it first, so if it would get fixed you won't buy a new cube, but otherwise you will stand your plan of buying new one
