Hope it was blue! If you have a screw you cannot get lose try heat!
What I use is a very small butane torch like you get at Radio Shack. Heat the head up but you have to be careful.

For the red threadlocker you need to really heat up the part that has it to get it off, and if you use the green threadlocker (industrial strength) you are better of replacing that part. You can use hairdryer to melt the threadlocker, make sure you heat up the part evenly. Submerge it in hot water (as long as its not something that can be damaged with water) for a couple of minutes and try to take it of then.

This is how it goes with the colors
Purple for small fasteners. I have not had much luck with this on my nitro vehicles.
Blue general purpose this is what I use and have the best luck on my nitro vehicles and this is what most use.
Red bearing retainer. Not for RC vehicles!
Green sleeve retainer. Sure not for RC vehicles!!!!!
I have been a motorcycle mechanic and machines for over 30 years. The only thing that will get loctie to break loose is heat on the stronger stuff. Like I said I use a REAL small torch. Some times I even have to use it on the blue.
