Replacement for equatorial wedge screw for base of Star Adventurer?

[LowGravitas]

The screw that fastens my Star Adventurer to the proprietary equatorial wedge appears to have been damaged, somehow (see picture). The metal at its base seems to have fractured in multiple places.

In this state, I don't know if I trust it to support the weight of over £1000 worth of equipment.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement? I don't know if it's a generic design, or something specifically made for the task by Sky-Watcher. In any case, any help would be appreciated!

Huh. And I assume you've used it for some time without issue?

Thanks.

e: I also wonder what causes it

Mine looks the same.

So, you don't think I should be concerned? I can't say I'm knowledgeable about the weight bearing properties of screws haha.

It looks the same as mine too and I'm not in the least concerned.
