Screws that have been locked with Crazy Glue or Locktite can be loosened
[even if some is on the screw head] with a quick application of heat from a
soldering iron. Make sure the iron has no excess solder on it. It takes a
little practice to know how long to apply heat.this varies with the wattage
of the iron and the size of the tip. I prefer a 50-Watt iron with a small
permanently tinned tiplet. On #2 and smaller screws it only takes about 10
seconds to melt the Crazy Glue. Have the screwdriver handy to loosen
immediately after removing heat.
