I would consider boiling it in water - that will stop the rusting action cold. Then some sort of soft brush to clean it out and oil from there. Follow with a good oil and you are done.

Anything like acids are going to far and will affect whatever other finish you might have on there. wowever. some folks use toilet bowl cleaner and the like. Basically acid treatments.
