Yea, I went to sleep. I used a little machinist's jack with a 0.25" pin instead of the standard flat top on the screw. It works fine, and there's no more danger of cracking the plate than wedging under the pinblock for stringing. Seems like I always learn more fixing screw ups than I do getting lucky the first time.
