Yes, that's a good idea! I didn't think of that. Since the ill fitting yoke screw could burr the button over like it has, a flat tipped pin punch with the tip ground on an angle can be used to gently peen the displaced metal back in place.

In the same way buggered screw slots are repaired when a screw is irreplaceable.
