This might be a double definition.

'writer' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cutting point' is the second definition.

'with a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stylus that I've seen before include "writer" , "Pointed device on a record player" , "LP tracker" , "LP record pick-up" , "Ancient writing implement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
