I need to remove the shower door to straighten it. But it's screwed into the stone - I think it's limestone or sandstone - and I'm wondering if I need to be careful about unscrewing and then screwing it back on?
Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
Before you make any attempt whatsoever, (the tiles should not get damaged as long as you work with care and do not over tighten) I think we need to know why you think the door needs "straightening"?
Is it that it the door is leaning in or out when closed, or is it that the door has a tilt on it side to side? This will tell us where the adjustment needs to be, either the wall fixing for the first or where the glass is attached (the hex head screws) for the second. Are you able to picture the problem for us?
You could struggle to adjust those hinges on the wall and they may not need to be touched.
Should the screw heads become damaged on removal (using the wrong screwdriver) they should be replaced with stainless steel ones, and as these are softer it is important to use a good condition driver otherwise the new ones will get mullered!

As per above, unscrewing from the tiles will achieve very little, adjustments should be made by undoing the allen head keys on the glass door side and moving the glass.
