I was a KX1 test builder so I challenge you!!!!! :-)  And I still enjoy
taking it apart for one reason or another.

I have found that a touch with a "permanent" black marker pen does the job
beautifully.

(What? Me scratch my K3? Noooooooooooooooo...) Actually, my K3 has been
assembled and disassembled probably more often than any single unit in
existence:  from fully assembled to fully disassembled at least 20 times,
maybe more, plus absolutely countless partial disassembly operations (it's
half torn down right now - front panel off, etc.) So I have picked up a few
dings on the edges and scraped screws, all of which have responded
beautifully to a touch with the black marker.

Yes, I found that too, on one screw specifically.
I wonder if I tightened it too much?
Anyway, someday I'll try a drop of matt black enamel in the countersink
