Will this work with the JT580LP and JT590?

I'm thinking of getting one but am a bit hesitant since it says "It won't work on Ibanez Edge, Ibanez Lo-Profile, or Schaller Floyd Rose tremolos."

Also, semi-related question:
It seems that the intonation screw holes in the baseplate of my JT590 are becoming stripped, as even with new screws the saddle on one of the strings still slips forward.

Should I replace the baseplate or just get an OFR? And if so, do I need to worry about the radius? I don't think I'd replace the locking nut too.

Nope... won't work on either the 580LP or the 590 (it is a Schaller).
You need the long lock bolts for the key to anchor too.

Is there another tool for the 580/590 that helps out with intonating? It has to be the most annoying thing about floating trems.

[rjohnstone]

None that I'm aware of.

someone should invent one

Some guy on Ebay had one for Edge-style trems a while back didn't they? Something that grips to the rear of the baseplate or something? Looked like it was more trouble than it was worth.
