I recently found an "oil" type product that can be sprayed into hard
to get spots. It's not only a lube, but a rust preventitive/killer as
well. (so it claims)

Pretty sure it's this stuff

I'm sure there's an equal product in the US.

A stop gap at best, but if too hard to get at with the sandpaper/wire
brush etc., this may work.
