I'd use PBR- but if that fails, I'd try electrolysis-

I can vouch for this method of rust removal. It works on any ferrous
(iron/steel) object. Uses sodium carbonate as the electrolyte. Rust
comes right off!

All you need is a decent low-voltage DC power supply (a battery
charger'll do in a pinch).
