Me thinks this screw might require a kiss from the impact driver - Upgoat

You've got a rifle scope screw cranked down and loctited is my guess. They're usually T-15 (ie, torx drive size 15), but that looks like a T-10 or smaller. Consult with the factory on what they suggest. Heat (torch/open flame) will beat (ie, break down) blue/red loctite, but will it also cause destruction of the base object? The mfg would know.

I don't need to call anyone. I'll just hit it with the heat gun and the impact driver. And it's a fixed front backup iron sight, rail mounted. You were pretty close though.

Sweet! I didn't know that they loctite and use torx drive for iron sites. Fuck, who knew. That's traditionally been slotted. Regardless, your new process should do the trick. If not, Project Farm says Liquid Wrench. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUEob2oAKVs

Methinks more is revealed in the reflection of your thumbnail than you anticipate.

You mean the Samsung S22+ used to take the photo?

@OP you should strip personal metadata from photos before uploading them.

Also, try heat on the threads, that can help a fair bit.

These are the 2 online resources from my browser history.
I forget which I preferred since I began using GIMP to strip metadata long ago, so you'll have to figure out which works for you.

Also, if you are on Windows, before uploading, you can right click on the image -> properties -> details -> "Remove Properties and Personal Information" link -> remove all properties
