Another good tip for stubborn screws is to actually tighten the screw a quarter turn to break the loctite. No need for heat or boiling water on you watch.

It is easy to strip or damage a screw trying to unscrew it but applying downward pressure and turning it clockwise a touch allows you to safely move the screw and does the trick. Manufacturers generally leave a little play in the screw when assembling with loctite just for this purpose.
