Very small allen head screws fastening a scope rail. I can tell the wrench is going to break before the screw breaks loose.

I use the tip of a soldering iron, hold it on the screw for 30 seconds at a time. It doesn't usually take much to loosen up without breaking the screw.

And the sing-along would be 🎶 Ya do the Hokey Pokey and you turn the screw around…..🎵…..that’s how you take it out!🎶 couldn’t help it.

They bring parts in the shop sometimes, that you have to heat awhile with propane torch. Heat it till it smokes. Strong stuff.

WD 40 on a Q-Tip . Wait a Few.. Keep that stuff away from firearms... Period. I never had a problem loosening anything with blue Loctite. That. If the AW is having issues - it's either the (cheap?) AW or the fact that it's NOT blue loctite...

Supposedly 550 degrees F. will break the bond on any kind of LocTite. Use a BIG soldering gun on the screw head, not one of the dinky little pencil type irons. Mine is a 150/300 watt Weller dual heat model which works great. I've also got one of the big 1500 watt electric irons used for sheet metal work with a copper tip 3/4" wide for the really stubborn ones. Bolts and nuts get the Victor Hot Wrench (acetylene torch).

Allow the soldering iron to get hot, then hold on the screw 2 min.

You could speed things up with the solder iron if you have some nice electronic flux. Put a drop of that on the screw and THEN hit it with the iron. Conducts the heat.
