Sharing a simple 3d printed magnetic parts finder I designed in case helpful to anyone. It has the magnets embedded within the print so that the "catch surface" is smooth and easier to located small picked up pieces.

Tight Screw in Fesla 415 Main Barrel and Arbor

I'm having difficulty removing a screw in a Fesla 415 movement. I'm going to try some penetrating oil, but wanted to see if anyone had experience with this movement and might know if I'm approaching it incorrectly. I'm using one screwdriver between both sets of gear teeth to prevent them turning then using a second to (attempt to) loosen the top screw. If I turn clockwise, the mechanisms within the gears allow it to turn (but not loosen), if I turn counterclockwise I'm not getting any movement and I'm not wanting to apply more force for fear of breaking something. Based on the hook on the arbor, unless I'm getting myself confused, this isn't a reverse threaded screw and I'm just dealing with a stubborn screw, but would appreciate any advice if I'm approaching this all wrong.

Thanks in advance.
