Sometimes these seem pretty stuck, but I've never had one that wouldn't come out. The nozzle does have a slot in the top of it for a flat-blade screwdriver. Make sure you use the correct screwdriver or you can strip it. Either use a screwdriver that has straight sides or if you have a screwdriver that flares out, grind the sides down even with the width of the blade. You want the blade of the screwdriver that contacts the nozzle as wide as you can get it without messing up the threads of the carb housing. If you have the right screwdriver, the nozzle should come out with some downward pressure and a good turn. As you are afraid of, bronze can strip. Go slow and be careful. Good luck.
