Having trouble unscrew one link on my Daytona

I am trying to take off one more link on my Daytona.
I can unscrew all the links... except for one. Does anyone know what I should do at this point? Should i soak the link in the hot water? Thank~

You can either soak it in hot water or if you have a steamer, steam the link. This will loosen the loctite and you'll get the screw out no problem.

Use an Iron ->

Since it is S/S and away from watch body, use an Iron to heat up and see if that does that.

Place link between padded vise, to hold in position

A minute or so with a hair dryer will usually do it.

As
GerardoG said a bracelet holder is a great help. Saves many slips and scratches. Cheap.
