Jerry Don't sweat it!If possible get a piece of lead or a soft copper bar.(If you need to anneal the copper,heat it to red hot and plunge it into cold water). It will then be very soft.Then use some sort of common sense means to support the main body of the carb top with out danger of damage.Place the lead of copper on the face of the offending fitting and give light but sharp taps with a small hammer.CAUTION Begin w/ only light blows and work up if needed.Since the valve seat area is well below the surface you will not cause seat damage.After each series of taps try removal.If bar stock lead or copper is not easy to obtain then get some sheet lead and cut several small wafers to place on top of the fitting.This same principle of jarring a tight thread on pipe or fasteners of any sort will work in almost all cases.The exception being that usually a soft cushion is is not necessary.Good Luck.Ol Chief
