I probably will still attempt to
remove the propeller by soaking it with WD40. But honestly I am not
expecting a miracle -- the propeller is quite stuck; there is quite a
good chance that I need to bring it to a dealer.

Use PB Blaster or something more suited than WD40. Just be careful not
to get mad at it and break something. You could end up rebuilding the
foot $$$, just to get a prop off that was working fine there. Look at
the bright side, nobody is stealing it.
I had one seriously stuck and the dealer heated it until the rubber
melted and used a puller on the center hub after the prop came off.
The problem was they also trashed the seal. They said it was already
bad but it wasn't leaking before they screwed with it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will go to a marine store to look for PB
Blaster or something similar.

Go to an autoparts store. Better selection and cheaper.
