I think it's likely yours was overtightened at the factory and stripped. I'd try a new cap and bottle from CSC.
BTW my coolant level (in the bottle) seems to have stabilized at about half-full.

Thank you, gentlemen. I will make the call to CSC tomorrow, and request a new coolant overflow bottle, with cap.
