2 in as many weeks!
broken screw, pliers to try get it out, failing that, a new mount will be needed
dent... just punch the roof up from under the car (remove the roofskin first)

if you buy a replacement mast from halfords, and the screw stuck in the roof is still sticking out of the base, then you can remove the screw from the new mast and screw it on to the original base and screw, if that makes sense?
