OBDII will clear the codes, except I dunno if AutoZone or wherever else will do it.

I have a OBDII scanner. Makes it so much easier to reset codes. Only costed me $100 or so I believe.

Nah theres a site, and I'm sorry I can't remember it but it says in the ECU checking section, "if you find the screw is already broken off, you will need to open it .." or something to that effect so it is possible to repair.. so

This might be a stupid question, but have you tried putting the screw back in? My screw is stripped, but I still manage to turn it, somehow. It takes a while, but it works.
