Saddle height screws stuck

[Out_of_Toon]

I was wondering did anyone had a similar problem and is there another solution other than bying a new saddle?

I have a standard edition Squier 4 string J-bass, by the way.

While trying to adjust the action on my bass, one of the screws that supports the A string saddle got stuck. I' ve turned it a few times around and the the wrench got stuck, and it took me several minutes to pull it out. After that, the screw stayed in its previous position and wouldn't move. Some time after that, a similar thing occured with one of the screws on the D string saddle, so now I can get only half of my action done LOL.
It's not that bad, but the A string buzzes somewhat after the 15th fret or so, but it can't be head through the amp, though.
Went to the guitar shop and the only thing they've had was a Fender J-bass saddle, which would fit, but the action was impossibly high.
Took it to the repair guy who tryed to get it fixed, but couldn't do anything.
As far as I know (haven't been exactly to every guitar shop in town) there isn't a Squier J bass saddle available for purchase where I live, so does anyone have any tips about what should I do, not involving buying a new one, because I would have to buy it online, and that would be a huge pain it the you know what, considering the fact that I don't have a credit card

Thanks

A pic would be nice. Doesn't sound like your tech has a lot of imagination. Is the screw hex head or slot head? If your tool got stuck, you're either using the wrong-size tool or dealing with a lot of corrosion. You're probably better off removing the entire saddle and spraying it with some thread-blaster or similar solvent to free things up. If worse comes to worse, you can always grab the protruding thread on the saddle's underside with visegrips and back it out. You'll probably damage the threads and will need to replace the screw, though. They can be had through AllParts.com.

Take the offending saddles off and drown them with WD-40. let it sit overnight. Once they come loose put a drop of 3-in-1 oil on each screw.
You'll only need oil once every few years.

I'll be surprised if WD-40/thread-blaster doesn't do the job.

Well the tech said the WD didn't do the job, so I don't know... guess I'll try it out by myself - thanks

The nice thing is that you can replace the saddles if all else fails, and it won't cost much.

Advantage: Fender's bridge design.
