I can't get the screw that holds the opening lever out. Tried bigger screwdrivers, penetrating oils and heat. Could it be reverse threaded? Anyone with experience with these?

That sucks. No experience with that gun. Did you try emailing the factory? Nothing like an explanation in broken English to give you more confidence in what you are doing. This is the guy I would try:

Good luck, Bill.

Here's a link to an English language manual for same. The last page is an exploded view of the gun:

It could be reverse threaded, but I doubt it. The parts on the diagram that I believe are involved in your issue are 40 (the screw), 51 and 52.
Do you already have the buttstock off so that you can see into the lockwork?

That screw would sure be vulnerable to working loose as the latch is used and released no matter which way it's threaded. I'm wondering if some other piece locks it. Is there any chance it's in a through-hole and has been upset by a punch on the other side to keep it from being removed?

It was locktighted in. A lot of heat, and a big screwdriver got it out!
