You guys are all sissies. The way I do it is soak the lens in a coffee
can full of ultra fine penetrating oil for a week, and then toss the
lens in the trash. It saves a lot of frustration.
(Just joking, for those who can not tell without a score card)
As a last resort one can drill the screw out, but that usually buggers
things up so they look awful forever after.

IMO WD40 and other sprays have little or no place
in camera repair.
As a matter of fact I don't even own any.
I use a good quality penetrating oil either on
the tip of a toothpick or in a hypodermic syringe
with a fine insulin needle installed.
Radio Shack sells a precision tip lubricator. It's about the size of
an ink pen and contains a clear penetrating oil. Works wonderfully on
small parts.
