Got it!!!
Didn't strip my action screw at all. Thought it was but had the wring size driver. Took action out of stock and fixed it. Torqued it back to the setting I had before and gonna go shoot now to see if it is close to zero or re-zero and hunt her again this afternoon as a backup gun for my daughter shooting her colt AR.
Seems like the mag box just got loose in between the bottom and top some kinda way and wasn't letting the follower move smoothly. Will probably end up with a detachable mag setup on this gun anyway, but she is running fine now.
