Front (angle) screw on Ruger 77

I have a newer Ruger 77 Hawkeye. In trying to remove the action from the stock, I found that the front screw refused to budge. I did finally get it out. I used a well-fitting screw driver, had my wife hold the rifle, and attached 18" handled channel lock to the screw driver handle. It started to move and after a quarter turn, I could turn it by hand. On inspection, the screw looks like it has a plastic insert into the screw thread. Anyone else run up against this?
