I see a small set screw by the bolt
That may be the adjustment for level, I donno?

I've never seen nor heard of shims to level a drill press table. Usually there is just a large, bored hole on the casting that has been machined perpendicular to the table face.
That bolt head does look difficult to access. Use a high quality wrench when attempting to loosen it , not a cheapie that is sloppy on the fit.
If you round the hex over you are in big trouble. :laughing:
When loosening a bolt, a sharp rap is always better than an increasing pressure applied. A snug fitting wrench and a rap from a dead blow hammer should do.
Grizzly has online PDF manuals and you should look yours up to see how it's designed.
