Depending on the form its in... I put paste on a piece of bread and gave it to each of them.

Gotcha, I'm glad you know what's going on with him. From what I near gape is something very hard to get rid of so it may take multiple wormings

That's odd. When you said cheesy stuff, I thought of canker, not worms, but I'm not the vet, so...Anyway, hope he gets better soon. Just for future reference, canker is a fungus, so if the wormer and anbtibiotics don't do it, that might be why. Usually, gapeworm looks like a "Y", which is the male and female worm joined, if I remember correctly. Did he say gapeworm, specifically? I'm trying to think if any other worms present in the throat.

Here are images of gapeworms in the throat of a bird from other websites:
