A little helpful information for first time open top owners:
This problem was partly my own making. As one of the other posters mentioned, the wedge and the screw have to work together. I think I had jammed the screw and wedge, creating a binding situation. Once I figured that out and moved the wedge just a tad the screw turned with just a little heat from a soldering iron. Not only that, but I find in the box that Uberti (or the previous owner) had provided a nice new backup wedge screw to replace the one I damaged while trying to remove the wedge. It's nice when something works out this easily on a firearm for a change.
And it is also true that the screw doesn't have to be removed... you just have to be able to turn it so the flat side lines up with the notch in the wedge.
