you problaly didnt use the right size (allen) and it stipped becuase of that.

you could try the next size up and force it in there then see if it will turn... if you cant you could always use you perch adj. tool and just see if it will turn (depends on how tight they tightened the allen set screw).

worse case scenario you are out 50$ (price of ebay slip-overs) and will have to buy new ones.... which isnt a bad idea.
