    They are made of a VERY soft metal. One of them may have been stripped out when someone was taking them out. It probably got replaced with a normal screw.

    How about a pic to show us?

    Dosn't suprise me...
    I had one of the screws snap off on me when stripping an l67 TB this winter.
    Had to weld a nut onto what was left of it to extract the broken screw still in the TB

    They are a PITA!!!! I ended up waiting and got the bits off Amazon. A buddy of mine had to dremel a slot in his screw head to use a flat head screwdriver to remove it. Blows my mind some of the stuff they use.. LOL
