Roger on getting the wood off first. Then I use lacquer thinner. For the screw slots use round tooth picks, LOTS OF THEM. When they break, get another. If it takes 10 to clean a single slot, use 10. They also work very well on the rib/bbl junction. Just plow the old oil sludge out with a broken one. They're the best and will never mar the finish like a sharp dental pick will.... trust me on that one... When I really need something clean, such as before I put loctite on a scope mount screw, I use a starter fluid soaked Qtip to clean the screw and the hole of oil.
