Well I came across something like this a few years ago, except my screws just shot out of the gun. Anyway I called up tippmann and told them what happened and they sent me out a new valve. There is little else you could do besides retap that hole a size larger but that's to much work. A little reminder also when you reinstall the hose in the valve don't screw it in till it stops that will dent the brass part of the valve. You will see what I am talking about if you look in to the valve from the bottom.
