Bill, my SX-100 has the same meter lamp configuration.  Usually, the rubber grommet dries up and shrinks- and the bulb socket sits in there loose.  I would hate to use any lubricant so close to the meter opening.  Try gently twisting the lamp socket back and forth a few times and see if it breaks loose.  If that does not work, carefully cut the grommet away from it's opening.  You can always replace the rubber grommet.  Good luck!

In my 101A it just pulls out of the gromment.
