I wouldn't think it is normal wear. Stripped or just came loose? When tightening those down I put anti seize on the bolt to lubricate it. I think you can get more tq, that way.

Yep,the shifter pawl has likely fallen off the end of the shifter shaft inside the transmission.Part is only about a hundred bucks,but requires complete dissassembly of the primary and transmission,your warranty should cover it.
