Sticky fine threads on aluminium can be quite a problem. It is often caused by fine (hard) dirt on the thread. When you try to undo it it digs into the aluminium and forms a locking device. Sometimes the already mentioned fixes work but severe cases will destroy the thread on either or both items if force is used.

I find the only way is to cut the least expensive item off and cut my losses.
