Make a plaster cast of your finger, then a latex positive and run the screw into it to the required depth. Add red paint at your discretion.

In reply to Duke:

funny thing.. It didn't bleed a drop until they took it out.

You got screwed.

Ouch. That was definitely one filthy screw.

Many years ago, it was common to add aftermarket plastic fenders to dirt bikes. They came undrilled. Yeah, you know where this is going: a buddy was drilling one and the bit went into his thigh.

dirtiest screw I've ever had.

You could of done something dumb and possibly more painful...

Not listening to SWMBO

That jerk Murphy must of had your number that day...

I did do something really stupid once: I was building the shop at chez Curmudgeon and was assembling a wall, getting it ready to stand up. I was using treated on the bottom plate, was holding the wood with one hand and the nail gun in the other. Pulled the trigger, the nail went where it was supposed to but the very tip of the nail came out, hit the tip of my index finger on my left hand. It left a small bloody spot, didn't think much of it. Uh, yeah it was a problem: the wood treatment made that finger swell like a damn balloon. Ow. Wasn't a thing the docs could do, they said it just needed to work its way out which took about a month.

Let's be real; You screwed yourself outta the deductible.

I ran a big wood splinter under my fingernail some years ago, all the way down to the quick. I couldn't get it out so I went to the ER. It was funny how all the doctors got grossed out when they saw the splinter, considering the place was full of people with knife wounds and gunshots and all kinds of other nasty things.

Knock on wood, this thing is healing really nicely. I just need to keep out of the gym for a few days so I do not destroy it by accident.
