Yeah, forget that penetrating oil crap; you've gotta employ some next-level chemistry. Ammonia works okay on aluminum oxide, but oxalic acid (wood bleach) busts the oxygen out of any metallic oxide. Last stuck post I had I let soak in oxalic overnight, clamped the post in a bench vise, and two good heaves later it saw that resistance was futile.
