Thanks to everyone for their replies. I spoke to Tom earlier in the week, and he gave me instructions over the phone on how to take the lock plates off. I didn't have the appropriate screwdriver for this, so I ordered the Magna Tip Thin Bit set from Brownell's (something I had been meaning to do anyway) and it arrived this evening. I was able to remove the lock plate with the broken screw, and it's boxed up to be shipped to Tom for repair tomorrow.
