Bowtech deadlock screws seized

Anyone shooting a bowtech with deadlock cams? If so, ever had any issue with the screws stripping or being to difficult to tighten?

I loosened the lock screw to adjust my cams and they were super hard to lock back. I ended up stripping the head on one where my Allen wrench won’t bite. only loosened them maybe 1.5 or two full turns max so they couldn’t have unscrewed past the ball bearing that ‘locks’ the cam screw...

May have been me but checking if it’s maybe a bad part if others have encountered the issue.
 
I had this happen to my Bowtech Revolt X. After it happened I went to the local archery shop to order a set of cams. Being I bought the bow used I figured I would be on the hook for the whole price. Luckily, according to the bow shop, Bowtech knows this is an issue and sent me a new set of cam with the axles. Retail cost is $250, shop charged me $100 for the cams. I installed myself so there was no charge there. Before I even installed the new set I disassembled them and put white lithium grease on the set screws and the adjustment screws. The moved so much better with the grease in there.
