After "screwing up" a few of these hard to remove jets in the distant past, I've found, as you have, that heating the casting helps tremendously. Another very important consideration is the screwdriver being used. Over the years, I have ground screwdrivers specifically for this work. I have quite a selection now. The scredriver tip has to be as wide as possible without interfering with the threads in the casting. It has to be perfectly square and flat and thick enuf to just fit into the slot. For really large jets, I have even ground a piece of flat stock to fit and used an adjustable wrench to turn it. Hold the casting firmly in a vise (but don't squeeze enuf to break the casting) and take care to hold the screwdriver tight and flat in the slot.Taking the time to custom make a screwdriver for each jet you are removing may seem time consuming, but believe me, the savings in time and aggravation is well worth the effort.
