It was still very firm, so I reused the silver bolt and screwed it in until the idle smoothed out. I could do a 1/4 turn on the bolt in either direction and the idle became shaky again, so I locked it down and it's been fine ever since.
My point is, just because the bolt is all the way in, doesn't mean it's beat. Test it first. It was a PITA to remove and replace the bolt due to tight quarters. I had to use two finger tips and start the threads blindly while burning my hand on the operating temp parts.

The new Gold Rack Damper bolt also has the same limited "sweet spot" as mentioned above.
