The day a couple hundredths of a grain makes a difference in any load, other than balls against the wall loads, is the day the earth stops on its axis, throws into reverse, and we end up back in the 15th century mixing our own gonne poudre and debating which makes the better projectile, stone balls or lead balls.
It's been shown many times that loads thrown volumetrically can produce ammo that is as accurate as those that are loaded where every charge is weighed individually to a tenth of a grain.
There's a national match shooter who does very well (name escapes me right now) who loads all of his ammo on Dillon presses and doesn't bother to weigh every charge.
As to the original poster, the knives on the scale beam could be dirty, causing it to hang up.
But, I have to ask, which model Lee scale is it?
EDIT:
Wait, you DROPPED IT?
Absolutely do NOT use it for loading!
I'm betting that the problem is NOT with the magnetic dampers, but that you've bent something, either the knives or the beam, or you've knocked one of the agate bearings out of alignment.
