Sears T6 torx screwdriver, #941480, $2.99 + tax. It appears the "black swarf" was part of the frame boss that supports spring. Perhaps the spring got trapped between top of boss and washer and was crushed when screw was over-tightened (hence the stripped star recess in screw) Cleaned up carefully with exacto blade and left just slightly less than fully tight. Slide catch will retain screw. "All's well that ends..." Thanks for listening - John
