On the way to buy some screws....

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.

No
   
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..
   
Two boxes, plus the short screws I had on hand...

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