In my experience it was fast to fix. I even adjusted it whilst it was guiding and it retained the guide star. Just a quick slide down of one the counterweights 25mm is probably enough. At first it was very disconcerting and I could see myself having to pull it apart and playing with that cam pin again. That cam pin screw is tiny and easy to damage the hex slot in the top so its hard to get really tight. I think I'll buy a dozen of them and have them in stock.

It would be great if someone sold a pack of commonly used allen key stainless steel screws. Imperial and metric.
