or if you have a large screwdriver and an adjustible wrench, put the adjustable wrench on the flat part of the screwdriver and push on the screwdriver with your hand/body weight while you turn with the adjustable wrench with the other hand and that usually will do the deal.

I lube the thing each day and I still not able to loosen up the adjustment... Is it possible to change the screw if I damage it? Next time I will try it I will force it to turn until something break or strip...

Make sure you are putting the screw driver on the appropriate part of the shock. I once tried to turn the screw on the other side of the shock body, not realizing at first that is was only a screw and had nothing to do with damping adjustment. If I remember correctly, the shock had been installed with the adjuster on the wrong side of the machine, and thus I was looking in the right place for it, but found the wrong slot.
