Anybody else had this problem?

The stylus is rounded, but there are imperfections/grooves in the plastic running down the sides long ways and in a circle near the tip that is part of the manufacturing process. These plastic "edges" have caused scratches on the screen after only a few days of use. This has happened several times (always on accident)if I hold the stylus at an angle with these grooves at the point of contact with the screen. You can see a bucnch of "A" shaped graffiti strokes in my grafitti area, and a couple of thin lines on the main screen, from dragging the stylus around on the screen when playing "traffic".

Grrr... Anyone know a good replacement stylus? Do any PALM replacement styli fit in the holster? This is my first palm, so I was wondering if other styli are extremely rounded at the end, or are these "grooves" from the manufacturing process common on many tips?
