Oi - i stripped the stupid plastic bolt for the ECU readout...

Blah - i've no idea how i managed to do it since it was fine on saturday, but somehow i managed to strip it... any ideas on how to get it spinning again? I tried spinning it anyway but i dont think it goes anywhere - or it does and it stops but i obviously cant feel it... what are the consequences if i dont have it spun all the way to the left?

I started the engine, rev'ed, the SES light was blinking randomly; shut engine off - reset the ECU (i think, even though the screw is tripped), and the SES doesn't come on anymore - codes read 0505; but now i am not 100% if the screw is all the way to the left
