The only cream in my place is the 20 varieties of chamois cream.
As a reformed (I left the country in question) pyromaniac, it's best I don't have access to anything as exciting as a blowtorch. I've held off buying a soldering iron for 12 or so years here I reckon I can do more. But I'm quite good at hitting things until they do what they're supposed to (no, not the missus, not all aussies are like that)
I know it sounds far fetched but if I've spent £5-10k getting to a race in forrun, then I'll finish the fucker even if I have to wait a day for some bearings and a soldering iron to arrive, so yeah, not exactly field repair but you get the idea.

Using a soldering iron to melt the threadlock is the easiest method, but you could stick a Torx bit in the screw and heat that with a blowtorch.
You have a blowtorch in the kitchen for crème brûlée, right?
I'd laugh at most people who claimed they might have to change their pedal bearings "in the field", but I understand that you can be quite hard on your kit...
