Probably used torque-limited screwdrivers, so there was no possibility
of stripping the threads or under-tightening. Which raises a point. I've
had at least one case where a screw head has sheared off, leaving the
remnant of the screw still in the cover. How do you guys remove that
broken off piece without damage to the threads in the cover?
