Secondary mirror screws stuck

This is my first time collimating my 130 SLT and i'm up to secondary mirror alignment, but none of the 4 screws will budge. I am using almost all my strength and stop before I snap the spider. Any suggestions on how to unstick the screws? (WD-40 maybe?)

Thanks,
Luke

Don't worry, a little bit of carefully placed wd-40 loosened the central screw which unlocked the other screws.

Thanks
