He may have to find somebody with a heat press, Is the neck bound or un bound?
Try spraying some WD 40 or Liquid Wrench on the nut?
I learned another trick sometimes applying a tad of pressure,( after the lube) then losening , working the nut back and forth, LOL This worked on big navy guns many times !
