You want to remove only the corrosion, not ream out the tube, that will weaken the tube and make proper seatpost fit impossible, ruining the frame.

LIGHT abrasive to remove any rust, then you can try a light coat of clear laquer to seal, make sure it dries for days, then a new seatpost with lots of grease.
Right, reaming is a bad idea, but he suggested honing. That is a good idea.
