[OM] Best way to remove stuck motor drive cap on OM-2

Hi,

I recently began shooting photos again with my OM-2.  However, in the
process of inspecting it, I remembered that when I had bought it used a few
years ago, the salesman had had trouble removing the motor drive cover.
After several attempts of my own, I have decided to give up before I strip
away more of the metal.  Although I don't really plan on using a motor drive
in the near future, it's bothering me now that it may no longer be an option
for me.  I had considered spraying a tiny bit of WD-40 to see if that would
loosen it up, but I have my reservations about that.

Can anyone suggest possible courses of action?  Thanks!
