All my rifles shoot under 1" MOA after I break-in the barrel at the range (+/- 100-150 rounds); .17 HMR to .338 Win Mag.

Then they are "ready" to hunt with...............

I wish all my rifles were built like the X-Bolt !!!

My X-Bolt and a Tikka T-3 are the only factory rifles I own which did not need a trigger job, IMO. They only needed to be lightened.

Now to the original question, I wound up removing the screw completely and safety checked the rifle and all was well. My biggest concern is something getting in the trigger housing now that the scew is gone. I thought about covering the hole with a thin layer of silicon? Any other ideas?
