If they do indeed have loctite...
Take your electronics out [atleast reciever and battery] flip the car over, stick your tool into the screw [allen or phillips whatever it is] and hit the back of your tool with a hammer, get 2 or 3 real solid whacks in. do this for each screw, it has a tendancy to "break" the loctite, since it dries to a very brittle consistency.

Tech Adept
Hit the screw head with a soldering gun. A heat gun won't get the target screw hot enough.
If it's stripped you can use a dremel to cut a slot or just cut it out, but I'd save that as the last resort as that could cause damage if you slip up.
