Try the oil and acetone solution, see if it works. FWIW, the salts have crystallized in the threads and effectively locked the parts together, then rust takes over and helps make it worse.

Heat from a propane torch will break up the salt crystals and the rust, but be careful or you will discolor the bluing.
