Could put right on screw head. I tried various soldering irons and just could not get enough heat to do anything.

I have a couple of different units like that using liquid butane gas, I think one of the handiest available is the Dremel 2200 Versaflame. Handy for heating seized parts and lead soldering, but never had much success with silver soldering especially parts that are chunky.
