No, I don't believe "man juice" dissolves loc-tite.

A little bit more muscle will do the trick

i thought "man juice" was more of a natural adhesive

I was thinking more along the lines of testosterone or the little spermy guys in the ball sack.

I'm considering the same question - whether I have what it takes to remove/replace the castle nut on my LMT and install something like a Magpul ASAP (without mangling anything). My castle nut is not only well-staked, it appears to have had something like solder poured or melted into it. Any experience with this?
