Try acetone. Just a drop. It is the main ingredient in nail polish remover. It will melt most plastics and should not harm the bluing. Chasing the threads with a tap followed by compressed air should remove every trace. Re-oil very soon because the acetone will remove every trace of oil. This assumes that it IS loc tite and not some type of epoxy adhesive.
