I have tried several things including some judicious heat and I can not get the socket head screw out of the back of a bolt on a new Savage 111. This is a gun that came out just before the AccuTrigger. Any suggestions? Jack R
Jack, I’ve had them tight enough that it took some grunt’n to get them loose but never had to heat them. Maybe stand the bolt up and try some Kroil. That may help free it.

After soaking in a good penetrating oil like Kroil, take a punch that fits down inside the socket screw and thump it a couple of times. This will help break it loose and the vibrations seem to help with the oil soaking. Warming it up some after soaking in the Kroil is OK as well.
