I've got the same problem on the low E on my SX. The screw in the saddle is actually "kissing" the string, and still need to go back a bit further. The low E and A strings actually wrap around the saddle because bridge plate holes are a little too close to the neck.

I don't sweat it, since the intonation is pretty close, but I'm either going to buy a shorter screw for the saddle (way cheap) or just drill the bridge for the 3-barrel mod and string it as a top loader (still pretty cheap). Anyway, at the price price/quality ratio of an SX, I think that either of these mods would be worth it.
