On another note, how many times can I screw and unscrew a Pencil tip before it wears down the gold connectors inside? Found myself screwing and unscrewing one time in a bout of anxiety, and I had to make multiple takes of this video before I got it right.

I think they're all like that. There was at least one thread in which every person said that their tip had a similar situation. I think even the Pencil 2 has that same issue.

As long as it works fine...

OK that's not great. Any chance you can get a replacement pencil?

The Apple Pencil 2 I got this year with my iPad Pro had an off center tip. I initially thought it was the pencil but upon buying replacement tips it looks normal so it was the tip.
