Next summer, when the system is safe to work on, you can get the screw
out readily with some heat and an impact screwdriver. Spend $7 or so
at Harbor Freight for this: #37530 or pay double that at a hardware
store. Pro mechanics have used these for years, and it surprising that
it is below the radar of so much of the public.
