OK. You are going to have to remove the buttstock. There is plenty of room in the channel that the stock bolt goes through for a loose washer to float around in.

Depending on the size of the moose who installed your buttstock at the factory, it may take quite a bit of force to loosen the bolt. If you have a vise, clamp the receiver on a solid area between some sort of padding and remove the butt pad. Get a big BIG screwdriver, make sure the blade fits the slot in the bolt and remove the bolt and buttstock. Be careful that you don't slip. It is possible to crack the side of the stock. If you can get someone to help you hold things steady that would be better.
If you are lucky, the screw won't be that tight.
