I didn't have alcohol on hand (not the kind to degrease bike parts with) so gave WD40 a go after removing the bigger gunk with stick and rag. Small spray, quick rub with a rag (more elbow grease in thicker layers) and it worked a charm! got myself some clean headsets again.

Thank you all for sharing your experience.
WD-40 will work, it's just more expensive.
