I've had good luck with acetone+atf but I am surprised Kroil and PB Blaster didn't perform better as I have had lots of good experiences with both.

Regardless, the main problem with WD-40 is the popular misconception that it's a decent lubricant.

My favorite is CRC Knock'er Loose. Better than Kroil in my experience.
