No no, you've misunderstood - the gears aren't the issue - it was over tightening the small screw that holds the adjustment wheel on - over tighten that and you've stripped the internal threads for the small screw.

Its cheap plastic. Theres no denying that. Its not the same type of material/plastic in lets say an MP5 that are usually black.
