Default Stuck Screws, was: Learning from an owner annual
writes:

Back when I used to work on airplanes as an avionics tech, someone showed me
a neat trick for getting stuck screws loose. When you find a screw that
doesn't want to come loose, or that the screwdriver tip cams out of, put a
little valve grinding compound on the screwdriver tip.

I have actually tried super-gluing the screwdriver to the &^(^ Phillips
screw. You have to have a way to hold it in place for say an hour later.

It got the screw out & was no issue to then remove the screw & glue, but it's
hardly practical...
