MG MGB Technical - Master Cyl reservoir removal

Am replacing the master cylinder in my 74 MGB. Have everything removed but cannot get the last of the four reservoir retaining screws off. I've tried heat cycling, WD40, lots of elbow, etc. The whole reservoir will rotate relative to the cylinder around the screw. It appears the thread is stripped. Any other tricks before I buy a cold chisel? Also, if I manage to damage the reservoir, any sources for a replacement? Moss only sells them as part of a complete MC, and I'm finding this to be the case at most of the other main vendors.
