The only forces pushing against the valve are the bolt spring, and the on/off pin against the sear. I would give a rough estimate of a few pounds against the screw from the spring horizontally, and a couple at most in the vertical direction.

Field strip screws are strong, there is no reason that they would break with the little force being applied to them. Unless they were in some way mistreated. Common sense, if the thing is bent get a new one.
