Hi Herb,
I'd do both. Slot it for now and get on the air. Pick up a new one at
the locat industrial supply store at your leisure. Or LMS of you don't
have a convenient source. I was a bit worried when I first read your
post and thought you'd stripped the thread. I still gotta wonder how
you stripped the socket.
Congrats on deciding to do the lapping job. It seems thankless at the
time but I found it made a stellar difference.

I'm in the process of "lapping" in my dove tails etc and have
discovered that one of the gib screw heads are stripped out where
the
allen wrench goes into it. The threads are fine, it's just that the
allen wrench just spins in it. Can I "slot" it with a small dremel
wheel so that a slotted screw driver will work on it? Or should I
just
order a new one? thanks, Herb W.
