i dont think one screw in the back will make a big difference, but i could be wrong. you could either write to tippmann and tell them about it, they might send you one free, or check tippmannparts.com

The gun will work, but you might have some problems and result in weird wear patterns.  I would replace it as soon as possible.  You should build yourself a kit with all kinds of replacement parts for your gun containing at the very least: body bolts, ball altches, o-rings, a from sight spring, and gun oil.  You can buy a pre-made kit, but I just buy parts as I think I need them.

EDIT:  Go to tippmannparts.com and find what you need, the stuff is pretty cheap.

You have stripped the Allen socket in the head or you have stripped the threads on the screw?
