There seems to be a bit of PLA in the screw hole of the hotend, probably from a previous clog, and that is preventing me from unscrewing it. Any tips?

Wow. There is a word 'hotend'.

Is it pronounced 'ho tend' or is it pronounced in a way that makes you wonder whether someone forgot a space? (Or a T, I guess)

Hot end. Its the end that gets hot.
