Nope, that's repairable.

The friendly tyre shop will simple remove the offending article and insert a "plug" and will be all good!

Too easy

Depends on how long that screw is, it may not have penetrated the tyre carcas. Are you losing tyre pressure?

You can still drive on it if you have to just dont take the screw out, thats when youll lose air pressure.
