Now I may be crazy, but I do see differences here. Again, please take no disrespect here, because that's not what I'm intending.

Circled in red: Looks perfect.
Circled in blue: Looks slightly rounded, and slightly off axis.

Maybe this is just the picture quality, but that's what I see, and that's exactly what mine looked like upon rebuild when I removed the old one. The end was slightly rounded compared to the new screws and slightly bent. Can also tell you that my old screws and new screws required different number of turns out, I account this to the wear, as they were identical part numbers.

Again, the difference I see here may be a function of your camera quality. My wear issue may have been abnormal, or I may just be picky and imaging things. All are possible. But I'm positive it's not from user error during removal.
