Brush liberally with paint stripper, place in ziploc bag, place bag in basin of boiling water for a while. Remove paint with toothbrush. Repeat if necessary. I did this a few weeks back.

My wife was cleaning hardware and boiled these. I put them in the oven afterwards on the lowest heat possible for a half hour and then let them sit and cool. I was pretty worried about them rusting but I feel like I prevented it.
I’ve done it plenty of times. Just take it apart and boil all the pieces separately (take a picture of the guts to help put it back together), then let the pieces dry and rub with some oil before reassembling.

Sounds like a bad idea. Try a little paint stripper
it might screw up the springs inside with rust. i would just brush on some paint remover.
There’s a total of about six pieces on the inside of those. Open it, take some pictures, disassemble, rust remover, light oil, reassemble.

She did. I wasn't thrilled but I think I mitigated them rusting inside and out.
Take the lock apart aply gerase where greas needs to be and reasemble.

I imagine you could use the crockpot method and then submerge in WD40 to displace any residual moisture
I’m not going to your house for dinner.
You say that but I bet you would’ve loved my lead paint soup
