I'm trying to break some the screws loose that fix the lens to the lens plate on my Electro 35 and I cannot get them to budge. There is some sort of gummy adhesive on the screw heads and I've yet to find a solvent to melt this stuff. I've also not been able to get the screws to budge with brute force. My cheaper mini screwdrivers are now bent, and the Wiha screwdriver I bought as a replacement just doesn't budge them at all. Lastly, I tried heating the screws with a soldering iron and that didn't help either.

Since you're replying over here as well (I didn't want to overload you) ...
I know you know what screws I"m talking about. Should I use the OO Phillips or the 1.5 Flat blade?

I'm having a hard time finding the 00 Phillips, but I know it exists.
