After my house fire, I picked up a can of something called Javelin at Restore. When I was cleaning and reconditioning my machines, if I had a nut that the wrench wouldn't move, I gave it a shot of javelin. Within seconds, the same wrench would spin it loose. I don't know what's in it, but it definitely had some nasty solvents.

I haven't heard of this stuff before or since, but it does work.

If you can't get one, make one.
