Place a car jack or blocks under the exhaust, take the front wheel off the bike and rotate the bottom of the forks so that the adjusters face forward. This will allow the lube to run down into the adjuster. I would avoid wd40 as it swells the rubber seals. Use a large screw driver that fits well to avoid damaging the screw heads.
As suggested already you may need to apply heat to the adjuster.

I was trying to avoid removing the forks so your idea means I won't have to. A recent track day highlighted a few things to do so while I do them I will try what you suggest.

Got pics of the fork tube bottoms..?
I haven't tried this but it may come to it unless someone can advise about removing the whole thing.
No pics at the mo.
