| Dave Yost: Use the mark Luke  Like I said before, I mark my booms with a scalpel on the tail case border (one line across tail case and boom, another paralell to the tail case border) and also on the other end where the plastic clamp holds the boom the the frames.
If there is even a 0.5mm movement, it will show up imediately.

Good Idea, but goal is to prevent the movement, not track it. Not to mention that scribing aluminum can create a stress riser.
I think the goal is to stop the tail case from moving, it would appear to me that the treads on the set screw are chafing the hole due to the fact that the screw is a harder material then the boom.
I did lose tail blades in flight, so the viberation might have caused the elongation. However I must say I was very surprised at the size of the hole, especially considering that the case had not moved or at least was very tight when I went to remove it.
One of those things that makes you go Hummmmmmmmm.......
