I've had my first pair of rimless glasses for about a month and a half and I
recently noticed a small crack on the left screw. It's going up toward the
top of the lens and it's been slowly getting longer.

Is this common with rimless glasses? Should I take them back?

Thanks.

Yes it is reasonably common. It is very common if you clean your lenses with
acetone.
If you've only had them for a month, and if it's obvious that you've looked
after the specs (i.e. no other damage, scratches, bending, etc) then they
should be under guarantee.
