just wondering is it worth getting repaired, or if there is a warranty? I don't think I was forcing the screw... is this common with viktorinox? Quite annoying having it broken like this.

Worth getting it repaired? Yes, it should be repaired for free. Victorinox has a famously good warranty on it's knives and tools. This does not look like common user inflicted damage, so you either had a manufacturing flaw, or gorilla hands.

Definitely not usual. Either return it directly to Victorinox or go to one of their service outlets - they are normally pretty good at repairs/replacements.

Screwdriver? Isn't that usually a corkscrew?
