From your description, it sounds like you have stripped the head on the grub screw used to hold the pinion gear to the motor shaft. Turning it clockwise tightens the screw on to the motor shaft and you can only tighten things so far before something has to give. The grub screw head is now stripped and you'll probably need to use a Dremel and a cutting disc to get it off the motor shaft. The pinion will be ruined in the process unfortunately.

For most things turning clockwise tightens, turning counter clockwise loosens.
