The James K/Dixie Gunsmith solution worked out just fine. I put the frame in a vise, chucked up a gunsmithing screwdriver bit and backed the screw out.
The screw was in very, very tight, so it took a fair amount of force - I was worried that I was going to shear off the head, but apparently it's a pretty tough screw. I did use some penetrating oil, which may have helped.
I appreciate all the advice. Thanks, everyone!
