It may be that your type needs to move the entire center assembly including everything attached to it.
Just an idea.

After taking a closer look at my valve, I can see that the ring I identified as rubber is indeed metal, and that the little brass piece in the center of the ring is in fact some type of cap.
However, that cap is recessed and, as far as I can tell, it's sitting in a spindle that connects the ICV's outer ring to the ICV's revolving wheel. So I can't figure out how to remove the cap, especially without risking having it drop down into the ICV?
I should also note that, per your instructions, I cleaned the ICV out, even more thoroughly than I had before with brake cleaner and an electronic component cleaner. But that didn't change the idle one bit. OTOH, I could see that the outer rim of the revolving wheel still had some caked on carbon on it, which I couldn't remove.
So, that's where I'm at right now
