The magic of physics!!! I tried the warming technique, put the electric stove top burner on low and held it over it about 5 minutes. I couldn't get the barrel off but I was able to get it in. If I ever need to remove it, I'll probably have to take it to my nearest gunsmith.
I'm sure the scope had nothing to do with it, the screw did not even come to the barrel opening and it was hanging up a good 1/16" before it got there. However, I did take the scope off to get a better grip on the receiver, so, you never know.

thanks for all the suggestions.
