Ingenious tip, Clark! Too late for me as I lost those darn things quite a while ago.
BTW, you never mentioned where the missing screw might have come from. .
One tip I'd like to pass on is for that one screw that is on so tight you fear that you'll strip the slots in the screw head trying to loosen it. What I found works is while pushing down the screwdriver as firmly as you reasonably can, use pliers to turn the shaft of the screwdriver. You get far more leverage turning the screwdriver with pliers than you do twisting it with your hand, and by pushing down firmly on the screwdriver you avoid stripping the slots of the screwhead while you break it loose . . .
