Much of my work involves rusted hardware which can only be accessed
from below...

No. I think i've found an easier way. Take your rusted items and wrap them
in paper towels. Spray down the towels real good with your de-ruster oil
and
then take those bundles and put them in a plastic grocery bag. Place the
bag
in a bucket.

I think that misses the point of the problem a bit.

shoot. you're right..

the part that is rusted cannot be removed from the structure that it is
attached to

hmm..

Phosphoric acid jellys are supposed to remove rust but it inevitably leaves
a new chemical coating which might be undesireable.

Adding degreaser to petrojelly would make it runny and it'd be a jelly no
longer

Sandblasting might work better..

Have you tried bicycle or motorcycle chain lubricant? It goes on as a
foam and is designed to be highly penetrating.
