You've got two things working against you removing that screw.

A - Red loctite. Need a lot of heat to melt it enough to break the screw loose. Either a lighter or heat gun or maybe a hair dryer will work but you have to really heat the end.

B - the screw is actually a JIS screw, not a Phillips. So while our tools will work, as you discovered, the metal is super soft and you just cut the thing apart. I stripped mine out but had numerous people tell me a JIS screwdriver would lock onto it and get it out with little effort.
