Super stuck grip screw

[spitfirefan]

Got one of those hi powers,from s&j and one grip screw wont budge.
Anyone have any suggestions for loosening it up?
The grip panel looks like its kind of watped som im thinking the screw is reall over-torqued...

Use a soldering gun or similar to apply heat only to the screw.

Hammer impact if all else fails?
Find a super tight fitting tip and gently tap the end of the hammer
impact.
Make goll dang shure the impact is going in the rite dee-reckshun.

Not this...use a local heat ( the soldering iron solution is appropriate ). Try not to over heat the screw, or you will burn your grip panels. Honestly, over torquing the screw would be a bad thing. Stripped screw threads are a start and cracked grip panels are also a worry.

Last resort would be having a gunsmith drill out the screw and rethread the hole if it is damaged.

As Kamlooky said. Use a proper fitted driver tip and tap with a hammer. Its a small screw so a sledge hammer is NOT required.

A little goes a long way, don’t ape it.

A few drops of white vinegar. Don't need a lot. Leave for a few hours or overnight. If still no go, use heat as others have said.

Don't get that on the finish or it'll strip it.
