Good tips Lawrence... Its always worth taking time to clean out the slots and find or make a good fitting tool. Its the same with screws: I cant abide chipped or mauled ones and nowdays screwdriver sets are so cheap from the likes of Aldi. Means we can have plenty and even touch one up on a grind stone to be a perfect fit.
As you say screwing the slug in a turn or so first is often a good option, then rake out any wax etc behind it.
If I was John I would, with a really good fitting tool try that first, without any solvent. Of course you need a certain feel for it, dont put so much force on you break the slug. Reasonable and from there if needed move to some solvent.
