Use of a Dremel is overkill, IMO, and introduces greater possibility of
damaging the screen. Screen tab is very soft and is easily chipped away.
A little touch up with a jewelers file, a dust off, and you're all
set. BTW, FTR, you're trimming off half the width of the tab, when
screen is dull side up, that's the right edge of the tab.
