There is an adjustment slot on the rear/top of the E brake assembly. Just like the old drum brakes on cars. I suspect an adjustment is all you need.

I do mine as Richard describes with a brake adjusting tool, you can also use a big blade screw driver. Chock the front wheels and lift the rear wheels off the ground. There is a star wheel for adjustment inside the slot at the top. Adjust until the rear tires can't be spun by hand. Then test to see if it holds on a hill. If you feel uncomfortable with the rear wheels off the ground try a few turns of the star wheel then see if it holds on a hill release the parking brake and see if it rolls freely down the hill, there will be a little brake scraping noise but it should roll freely. You may have to adjust it several times to get it right. I doubt that two times forgetting to remove the brake will wear your shoes down that much, it is not used like regular brakes that wear when applied.
