This slipping was a setback in polishing the bundle because it meant that the fibers were still not all the same length. The end of the bundle looked flat on the side I happened to be polishing, but the opposite end was uneven with some fibers sticking out farther than others. However, with around 0.04" left to remove, I had hope to correct the situation. The uneven end did not look too bad, and after some more polishing that took off another 0.02", that end looked flat again and the fibers did not seem to slip.

I think the screws may have been too loose to begin with, but they may have loosened further during polishing. In the future I have to make sure the screws are tight enough and keep checking them from time to time so they won't loosen and let the fibers slip.
