You might have messed up the fuse holder due to sticking paperclips and nickels in there. The paperclip and nickel has probably deposited some of itself on the contacts, causing higher resistance, thusly the starter now has to draw more amps to overcome the resistance between it and the battery. I would repace the fuse holder itself before doing anything else!
