I thought I remembered a thread about "hard removal" of the screws!!
I have not had my grip off as yet on my carry pup.But have checked and have not loosened either.
Nor have I tried to take out either..
May try this afternoon..

I have not been worried too much about this as yet till I get a lot more rounds downrange..

Please keep us informed..Thanks..

Loctite is customarily broken down by applying heat to the joint.  
You could try heating the allen wrench, slipping it into the screw socket a couple of cycles.  Then put torque on the fastener.  The lower grades of Loctite usually let go pretty easily.
Early in this thread, one of the senior members handed my head to me for daring to suggest putting the frame in the oven for a few minutes at 200 degrees F.  Still, that's easiest way, and it won't hurt the gun or grips.

Victory!  I put a permanent twist in my allen wrench doing it, but they finally came free!!!

Steve,
I certainly did not mean to hand your head to you; all I
was trying to say was is that it would not be my preferred
method of dealing with a balky screw problem even though
effective. We are all victims of our last bad experience and
mine happened when I tried to use a product on my prized
BHP that promised to "coat" the barrel as long as it was
cooked at 200 degrees in the oven. I did that, put the gun
away for awhile, and discovered a large amount of rust under
the outside of the barrel. Whether this was related to the
cooking or not I decided never to put a gun in the oven again
I hope we are still friends and that you know my source of discontent.

Good on ya Brad - does prove I imagine that at least your Allen wrenches were good quality - a bit of twist is fine, as long as they continue to bite well.
