Hi Randy
Sorry I'm late to the party.
Another way that may have worked would have been to get a longer screw that fits the "fixing" screw hole and just turn it back in. It may have need a washer under the head. Doing it this way would also require blocking the saddle so it cannot move back any further so when you start turning in the screw the only thing that can happen is the gibb goes back in. ( Without the saddle blocked the gibb could stick to the machine and actually pull the saddle )
