That small screw will be hard to remove. It's been loctited, to ensure it won't loosen up on it's own, with usage over time.

Just be slow and don't twist in large amounts as the screw head could snap off/screw slots stripped, as any screw might.

You'll need to use a rag and wrap the large "knob" end of rod to not gouge metal with vice grips or pliers while holding rod to keep from spinning while removing screw.

Also, the rods can be any length, as long as it is outside the front of the slide's muzzle end and the spring on back side of slide is captured. The rod is only there to hold the spring's position from bending/twisting/flying around in all kinds of directions that can jam the slide while going into recoil or rebound positions during usage or take-down.
