spring arm/fast-idle cam pivot screw seized
Ive tried everything to get this screw out without damaging it but the more things I try the worse it gets. Its not stripped but its getting there pretty quick any suggestions?

Yup, still here

Go to Sears and get a Screw-Out extractor set. They work well for stuff like this. You drill out the stripped middle of the screw, and then the extractor pulls it out:
You can get cheaper versions at other stores like this:
If buying tools is not possible - then soak it in relasing fluid, and add heat.
Worst case is that uou have to drill it out and retap the hole.

Use lots of penetrant.
I like to use a smal vice grips to grip the head and twist to loosen.
Sometimes it helps to file down two opposite sides so the vice grip has a better time gripping the screw head.
A torch can help with very stubborn screws too.

EDIT: Error on my part. That is a good picture of the thermowax, fast idle cam etc for folk who don't know what it is.
