keep screwing in and out, slowly , spray some rust remover and lubricant in there and go very easy, go all the in and then slowly back it out to were its tight again then go back in and then back out again, easily and carefully. dont force anything, otherwise your F'd , or just leave that one in..if worse comes to worse.
