Hello, you don't say what type of Loctite (Loctite is a brand name for a large range of glues and sealants) and also how and where it's used.
Search the company's website for solutions (no pun intended!)
All the best, Hef. :-)

I'd think ethyl acetate or acetone should remove it. They eat polymers pretty well.

Hello SW,
1. Ask your wife for some fingernail polish remover (contains acetone, but is not full strength).
2. Loctite Blue: Can be removed with hand tools (impact driver).
3. Loctite Red: Apply heat to remove - soldering iron, then impact tool.
4. Loctite Green: Apply heat to remove - soldering iron, then impact tool.
