I just filed off the mushroomed over part by hand. Filed from the side to match the angle of the socket. Only took 5 mins.

Steel was very hard, and quite thick......took awhile with the grinder. having to keep dunking the hot metal, to keep things tempered....

Yes, it's definitely a sign of senior status when you forget about screws...
Nice tip, Admiral, about the use of a plumber's reamer to remove the inside damage on a socket chisel previously abused by an person.

I used the carbide rasp bit for a drill, to clean up after a normal drill bit. Old chisel to dig out chunks..
As for screws..

Nice save! I find a wide chisel to be invaluable around the shop, though mine is quite a bit shorter than yours.
