I have a Bradley Kimura balisong and I used some blue Loctite on one of the pivot screws it has. I can't unscrew it at all now. The pin that the screw is screwed into is rotating with it, and it is flush-mounted into the handle so I can't use a pair of pliers to immobilize it as I try to unscrew it out. I tried soaking it in hot water, using a hairdryer, heating up the torx driver and using it, the pin and screw are simply refusing to separate. I would appreciate some help, thanks.
 
Open it fully and squeeze the handles together, hard, the screws won't spin in the handles. :)
 
I tried that, it's making it harder to torque the screw, but when I do, it still makes the other pin spin with it.
 
If you have a soldering gun/iron with a fine point on it put it to the screw head for a time and it will softern the loctite to enable you to back the screw out.

Thanks for this, worked perfectly on a BM470 pivot screw that I couldn't break loose.

Cheers, Ed
