Well I found out why that screw was bent. The clearance hole didn't line up with the threaded hole and they just got it started and powered it in. To fix it I drilled the clearance hole with a drill bit 1/16" larger than the existing hole. It was getting close to the edge so I attacked it with a file to elongate the clearance hole. That did the trick.
I got the new hardware from McMaster yesterday and got that installed. The hardware that came with it was Phillips drive which I don't like for this application so I got socket head cap screws as replacements.
