Gunsmith or self repairable?

Gunsmith or self repairable?

I bought this used Winchester 1897 and while I was doing a full disassembly yesterday I was forced to stop due to noticing the carrier pin stop screw is partially stripped.

What I'm wanting to know is if I can possibly self repair this or if it would be more worth just taking it to a local gunsmith to avoid the headache?

If I can possibly self repair what would be recommended to make this easier, as I already have the replacement part on the way?
