Propane torch.
It'll crystallize most any of the loctite/glues that they use...or at least soften it enough so that you can grab it with pliers/towel and crank it off. And for the junk left in the threads too...not so as to burn it right out, but more so to render it such so you can pick it out. A finishing nail tip work...small tip of a mico screwdriver...a small detail file...a thread file or a die will obviously work too.
And if the flashhider is just plastic...then grab it hard with big parallel jaw pliers and crank it, they just bust and come off.
There's crazy glue solvents...but mechanically picking out the junk seems to work best. PITA though
