I have tried release liquid for stuck screws to no avail. It worked in other places in this lens which had been stuck too. I don't think the lens had been messed with before.

Try the thermal shock -- that's what I'd have tried first. Just blow on it with a hair drier to get it warm and then try it as it cools.
