Looks like there has been some constructive discussion on this topic in the past. The search engine works! See "Default Screw timing, and dings" from 10-28-2013, 12:28 PM:
"If it needs more of a turn to go home, chuck the screw up in a drill press and while spinning file material off the underside of the head. Do this a little at a time and keep checking until the screw times correctly."
I suspect several screws will require replacement on my Great Grandfathers 10 Gauge when it is restored so it would just be helpful to know more about what goes into a successful and correctly timed screw replacement.
Having worked with and engineered a variety of complex fasteners for aerospace applications, including very high strength fasteners used on the Space Shuttle and other advanced military and defense applications - I do find it interesting to learn more about the physical process of ensuring the proper torque is achieved when the screw is at a specific point in the rotation.
But really? "Severely overthinking the whole thing"?
Guilty as charged!
Here is a link to the 2013 discussion:

My thanks go out to Daniel Carter for the search suggestion.

The alignment of the screws is completely intentional ans is simply a function of aesthetics and quality of workmanship in the end product.
