If I remember rightly, the grub screw sits in a groove in the spout and
stops it moving up and out of the fitting so, in principle, taking that
out should let you lift it out (cack in the gap permitting)

That's what I thought. This thing has been stiff since the day it was
fitted. I hoped it would loosen up in use but that hasn't happened

A spot of silicone grease (or other high-melting-point grease) should
help. [So will WD40, but it's effectiveness probably won't last very long.]

Very difficult to get any lubricant in there. Because of the design it
would have to soak upwards.

You'll need to pull the spout off first, dry it and the bit it plugs
into, and then apply the grease.
