The machine is frozen up, the wheel will not turn, the bobbin case is stuck but the screw that is suposed to remove the gib won't turn. For now, I've given the entire machine a good oiling which hasn't been done for years but if I try to turn that screw any more, I'm going to strip it. I removed the hook that it catches on so that I can hand turn the wheel and get the screw in a better position but that didn't help. There is another screw at the base of the entire bobbin case and I wonder if I can't remove that screw and remove the whole bobbin case - not just the gib as the instructions call for but I'm afraid I may get in too deep and not be able to get it back together.

First try spraying WD40 or penetrating oil around the screw. Let it set for about an hour and try to remove the screw. If it comes out fine, if it strips go to your local hardware store and tell them your problem and they can sell you what you need to remove the stripped screw.
