So, more than likely, when someone was assembling it, they somehow bunged up the top few threads on the escucheon. Probably by ramming on the screw/bolt. Eh? I might just leave it. It still screws in, it is just hard and the threads on the screw get a little flatter than they should. I suppose it could be dirt, but you'd think it would come out after working it back and forth a few times.

That is awfully awfully nice of you to offer. Both of you that have now. But I have a feeling it will just make a good screw, bad. You know?
I have an escutcheon too. Let me put the screw and escutcheon together and make sure they are both good. PM me your mailing address.
