Removing that link with the others either side is the best option, otherwise pulling it apart completely and destroying it is more likely.

Vice grips and a vice will assist in the latter. Google will show how they're assembled. With enough force they come apart.

What is the correct size?

1.7

Yes get a competent watch tech to fix. I read somewhere that if you are trying to remove a screw with loctite, you should carefully use a lighter to "soften it up" before unscrewing.
