At least some of them put out pretty good heat. Plenty to loosen LocTite enough to be turned out. Heat gun would be better but many don't have them. Most households have a hair drier in them though.
LocTite blue is good stuff. It was designed not so much to lock the screw (although it does), but to fill the threads so they won't loosen under vibration. I used to machine parts for and assemble jaw chucks 4" through 12" diameter and we used the blue on all the lock screws for the jaw pivot pins, top plate bolts, counter balance weight screws etc., basically anything that had a torque spec. or anything we didn't want to move and never had anything come apart under extreme usage.
I use it on sight screws, base mount and ring screws, hammer screws or anything you may need or want to remove later. You can break it loose with a screwdriver, hex wrench, etc. without hassle.
