This might sound dumb, but what if you just kept after it? :) I mean, eventually, all of the steel that is in there will have rusted, and if you kept after it with the sandpaper, it will be removed. Heck, it might even help to accelerate this rusting process. After all the steel has turned to rust, apply some naval jelly or the like and then sand it away.
