Stuck screw on a Rolleiflex winding knob, 4 days of pain

Got a Rolleiflex in last Tuesday with a frozen winding knob, figured it was just dried grease. Turns out someone had glued the screw with red Loctite, so I spent 4 days trying heat, solvents, and a manual impact driver before it finally gave. Has anyone else found a reliable way to break red Loctite without wrecking the surrounding paint?

Buddy of mine ended up freezing the whole camera in a freezer for two nights, worked wonders.
