Afraid that charge port might be damaged as I used metal screw drive to clean debris inside. It no longer changes now no matter what I try with different plugs.

yeah... should have powered off the phone and used something non metallic like a toothpick..

here is a support article for when your phone won't charge. If you've already tried multiple chargers and cables, you may have damaged it.. or shorted something out?

Try a force restart, just for kicks? this article tells how to do that
