What the thread found

• The focus travel calibration screw on this model is plastic and can be stripped if force is applied incorrectly
• When the adjustment screw is engaged, the motor may jitter or chatter rather than turning smoothly
• Attempting the adjustment with the wrong screwdriver size or fit can cause the motor to jump erratically without consistent rotational movement
• A flat-head screwdriver may work better than the recommended size for this adjustment
• If the calibration screw will not turn or respond to screwdriver input, the device should be sent to the manufacturer for service

Depends on

• The exact model year and variant of the Stanton device is not specified
• The troubleshooting advice was not conclusively resolved in the discussion
• No clear confirmation was provided that any of the suggested fixes actually worked
• The conversation suggests the screw may already be damaged, making it unclear whether the problem is operator error or prior damage
