Maybe a superfine brass one on a bench grinder for the outside diameter corrosion. For the internal corrosion maybe a fine brush on a dremel.

I guess if Dremel or one of their competitors would realize that what is needed it a REVERSE setting on one of these things to balance out the wear. 3) they cost like $5 each - not at all cost effective.
