Is WD40 a good penetrating oil to use on a stubborn sheet metal
screw
that is located inside an electric walloven ? I am wondering
what the
odor will be when I eventually light this oven off once again ?
Will
the WD40 eventually evaporate? I hope that it will before
being
heated by the oven.

Problem is also that the screw is located at the top inside
surface of
the oven; so, the WD40 is not going to be sucked upward, is it
?

I have the whole oven now out of the wall cabinet. Thinking
that I
might be able to rotate the oven 180 degrees vertically, and
then
squirt some WD40.

The screw is a cross-tip Phillips and somewhat stripped now,
and is
one of two screws that secure the Broil element to the oven
ceiling.
UGH !

All this effort to remove the broil (top) element in a (1974
era)
Whirlpool single oven and I am now at a standstill.
