Not much need to worry about GEO. Everything there is moving at the same speed in the same direction. It's all the stuff in upper LEO where different satellites are all orbiting at different inclinations where this is a problem. And only upper LEO, down where the ISS is at ~400km an object with a low ballistic coefficient like a screw won't stay in orbit very long.
