This isn't a DW, but it's a similar problem that comes up with scope mounts. I have 4 screws in this scope mount. The first 3 came out without to much trouble. The lead screw must have loctight on it. I'm using the right size screw driver, but it doesn't want to turn without damaging the screw head. It's still tight. I don't have to take it off, but it would be nice.

Any suggestion on how to get this screw out?

Hey Gary, Start with a soak (penetrating oil), then a little heat (hairdryer) next you will need a flat head screwdriver tip for a drill driver, a 1/4 inch box end wrench, and a C clamp. Probably an extra set of hands. I am confident you can figure out what I have in mind.
