I would not alter that screw. It is set to allow the throttle plates to close fully, but not touch the body. If you do alter it to change the idle speed, the ECU will adjust the Idle Air Valve down, to maintain the normal speed.
I agree that you need to fix the problem that is causing the rich mixture.
