I have an almost brand new  M300 (2 months)  manufactured in April from memory.  I am attempting to replace the single gimbal mount with the dual mount.  Three of the screws were almost impossible to remove as they are covered in loctite.  The 4th is impossible to remove and is now partially stripped.  It is one of the front screws.
I have two M300s so I could set up the other as the Dual, but I don't want to as it has much more use, and most of my flying is single gimbal so I want to use one heavily and keep the second just for rare dual activity...  

It is very frustrating that the screws were smothered in blue loctite (I guess it is 243).   

Does anyone have any ideas about loosening it without damaging the plastic?  


cheers

Before anyone asks, I am using Wiha drivers rather than the stuff that came with the M300...

I proceed this way:
1/ I heat the DJI tool, when it starts to blush I stop.
2/ I put it in the head of the screw, and tap on it with a small hammer (for clock) to properly use the entire length of the imprint of the screw head.
3/I wait a bit for the heat to dissipate in the screw and soften the threadlock product
4/ It comes like dad in mama

For the following times I put less powerful threadlocker, and screws with Torx head. No more heating.

heat the screw up with a soldering iron
