[s-cars] Wastegate screw (again)

After recently doing the MTM stage 2 thing, I popped the metal cover off of
my wastegate and tried to give it the requisite 5-turn mod.  It was very
difficult to turn with a 4" allen wrench, and I got about 1/4 turn into it
before coming to the realization it would really suck if I rounded the hex
head.
The top of the set screw is just under where the metal cap was, so I'm
assuming that it has not been tampered with before.  Has this been
lock-tighted?  How hard should this thing be to turn?  Paul, did I mention
that I got a chip?
Any help greatly appreciated.
