Unhappy I got melted glass on my torch tip!

I can't believe I bumped into my mega minor torch tip with the end of a hot rod. It was very hot glass that initially blocked off about 3 of the little holes at the tip of the torch. I used a little needle tool that came with the torch to pick out the glass from the surface of the tip, then I inserted the needle tool into each little "chamber". All were clear except for one that seemed to "catch" a little as I inserted and removed the tool. Now 2 or 3 of the candles are extremely uneven and flaring - I think it's ruined! Please help?
