You're awesome! I'll be picking up a small torx set after work today....I need a smaller set anyway. I thought about loosening the pivot screw in the first place but thought it may cause some free play in the blade.
Now I'm starting to feel bad that I didn't buy the knife from you as I originally planned. It was an internet impulse buy late at night. For the next knife I'll hit you up. Rep coming your way!
I hope you find that torx bit because they are very hard to find at most retail stores...they just don't carry the small ones that are used for knives (T-6, T-8, T-10). If you do find it, when your loosening up the pivot screw, do it very lightly/slightly.... like 1/16 of a turn or less at a time until the assist starts operating smoothly. If you go to much you will have blade play. Also, after you get it working again and have used it for a couple of weeks (break in period), you should go back and tighten it up slightly.
I'm not sure where you are located, but if you can't find that torx bit, let me know and I'll try and help you.
