I think if all else fails I will try heating the screws up, but I'm scared I'll damage the scope.
Try some Acetone, it works on most glues of any type. You might try a small amount on an area of the scope to make sure it does not affect the fiinish, then just put it on locally around the screw and let it sit there awhile, it should loosen it up.
