All ready tried removing screw. Aligning handle to appropriate position, put white vinegar in screw hole and it won't budge

After some additional experimenting, contrary to information I was previously able to gather, I discovered that the white plastic retainer doesn't (in this type of Moen faucet) actually screw off but rather is held in place by a spring clip inserted from the rear of the retainer (toward the wall side of the basing). Simply sticking a small screwdriver in the opening (approx. 45 degrees downward) and tipping the screwdriver toward the front of the faucet, snaps the spring clip out through the opening.
The plastic retainer than lifts off. Note: the flat sides on the retainer suggest that a wrench will be needed but such is not the case.

So I believe based on what you are writing, it's a double handle style faucet. So you loosened the set screw that holds the handle on which is located near the top of the handle close to where you would grab. I would totally remove it from the handle just to make sure its not catching on a burr. If you have pulled and it will not come off, you will have to use a handle puller. Your local hardware store should carry them for less than $10. When you see the puller, it will be self explanatory on how to use it. Sometimes the handles can be hard to remove especially if they haven't been removed in a long time. Worst case is that you will have to cut the handle off and replace both the stem and the handle. That can be a little more costly. Hope this helps.
