It may not seem that way, but the fact that you can't get too much torque on the screw is a blessing. Because when you apply excessive torque to them, THEY BREAK! Don't ask me how I know this ;^)
My suggestion would be to continue with penetrating spray, and also tap on the head of the screw repeatedly with something like a very small hammer, to help "rattle it loose".
If you don't value the voltage regulator, heat would be an option. But if you do, don't put heat anywhere near it - the plastic will melt long before you get enough heat on there to affect the screw.
