Soldering iron tip, hold it on the set screws for about 5 to 10 minutes and then give em’ a go.

I have never need very successful with the old soldering iron. I use a heatfun with a fine tip..just a few seconds is unusually enough to get the job done

Put the comp and barrel in a sonic cleaner or let it soak for a while before trying to back the set screw out.

If that doesn't work let it sit in a penetrating oil. Kroll might work...give it a bit of heat and then give it a try

I did try waving my bench torch around it, nothing crazy, but I'll definitely try some kroil or somthing
