Might be able to use Dust-Off, just tip the can upside down
and spray liquid off the bottom. Propane torch for the heat?

scrawled the following:


I have a BOSS with the micrometer locknut stuck at the
bottomed out zero
position. So far Kroil has not released it, nor has
considerable torque
applied from channel locks via some 1/8" hard rubber to
protect the
knurl.

Non-p/c application of freon 12 to the shaft with heated
rubber pads
to the nut? (Keep it away from the plastic base.)

Have you tried moving it back and forth, alternating
tightening and
loosening, while attempting to rotate the micrometer (? not
familiar
with the Boss)? Sometimes moving both at once can rock it
loose.
