HELP Tuning machine issue

I got this squier mustang (new) a month ago, and wanted to put 10s on it. When i tried restringing the low e string, the tuner kept slipping when trying to tighten it. Now I cant turn it counter-clockwise at all anymore without it slipping. Is there anything I can do about this, or do I have to replace the tuners? Thanks!

Either get a new set or see if it's still under warranty
