Pilot jet removal will be difficult at best....way too easy to strip. Is OP really expected to drill out the pilot screw tamper caps to remove and clean that critical area? Would he even KNOW to do that?
With all due respect..chances are getting them "right"with success *the first time* is very doubtful, of course you'll only find out after reinstalling...then you get to do it all over again....
Honestly, you can't compete with the effective modern machines, complete disassembly, experience, being both aggressive with certain areas and very careful with others....and knowing the difference between.
Here's a frozen pilot screw removal on a recent set...sure, "carbs are easy"

Right on Gordy! No one has touched any bike or part thereof that I have owned in over 50 years. If I have problems with my 10 year old carbs you will be the first person I contact.
A screw extractor on a carb jet? Jepers!
