My understand is that BCM uses these:
Alloy Steel Knurl-Grip Cup Point Set Screw, 10-32 Thread, 3/16" Long; which is McMaster-Carr part number 90289A337
From their website: "Made from alloy steel, these set screws dig into hard surfaces for a secure hold. They have serrations on the cup edge that grip the material surface to resist loosening."
The little boogers have no-fooling teeth on the bottom to dig into the dimple in the barrel.
I have successfully used this to dissolve red Loctite: Bob Smith Industries Un-Cure.

It's designed to dissolved super glue (CA) bonds.
Hope that helps.
No luck so far. I'm doing this in order to install an adjustable gas block to correct issues whilst shooting suppressed. I've already ran the gamut of different buffer weights, but a friend recommend changing out the extractor and/or bolt and seeing if that corrects the problem. I tried the factory size (3/32) and then a 2.5mm, both stripped or got smoothed by the screw.

LL,
You need the Marvel, BCM Buster hex key set made from Vibranium. A good tap with Thor's hammer will help as well.

Yup, that's them. Let me know if you want me to send you some for replacements.
Had the same issue. Ended up giving my upper to a local smith who cut the gas block off.
If it's glued with Rocksett, you need to soak it in boiling water
