It took me a while but I finally figured it out. You need a special screw driver bit. The bit is a T10 -- it's star shaped but that is the size you need. There is a place to access this under the handles -- works great!

Thanks to Dana; it was a 5-star screwdriver, which I was fortunate to find one in my collection of tools and solve the problem. 30 minutes to figure out it was a 5-star screwdriver and find the tool; 3 minutes to fix the handle!

Yes you need to take the inside of the door off. Usually a few screws. Then you will have access to the screws that hold the handle.
