[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2987773, member: 68758"] As a quicker alternative to a soldering iron, heat a short piece of steel rod of appropriate diameter held with vise grips red hot with a MAPP torch, then hold it against the screw head. Once you see some smoke the epoxy should be softened enough to remove the screw. If the epoxy got into the female threads, you'll want to re-tap the hole to clean it up. [/QUOTE]
