Even though it seems that there is a new "unified prononciation" for 拙, every
Chinese people that I have met all still pronounce it with a second tone. So
thank you for at least disclosing both prononciations.

Editor: 拙 is consistently pronounced zhuo2 by a number of persons. In fact it's so common that it is standard in Tw.
However, the PRC standard is zhuo1. It is so in my 30-year-old paper dict, so it's not a new thing.
We stick to PRC standard; when a char has an alternative pronunciation that is valid for all compounds, that is indicated at the individual char, not in all compounds.
Diff:
# - 笨拙 笨拙 [ben4 zhuo1] /clumsy/awkward/stupid/
# + 笨拙 笨拙 [ben4 zhuo2] /clumsy/awkward/stupid/
