Thinking about the rotation of the handle relative to its shaft, is it possible that a retaining screw might have a left hand thread (to prevent its coming undone in normal operation?). Also, try Plus Gas instead of WD40, WD40 isn't really a releasing fluid, it's a Water Dispersing agent with a bit of oil in it.
