Ditto on the above (especially PB Blaster). However I you really feel the need to remove the screw and none of the above is working you might try heating the screw with the tip of a soldering iron. It will take a while for the heat to reach the end of the screw but this will free the screw if it is held in by plastic or loctite. Depending on the type of grips you may not want to apply heat but some polymers and wood won't be hurt by the amount of heat required to loosen the loctite.
