No, Naval Jelly (or phosphoric acid) is what was originally mentioned.
It won't penetrate into the threads of a tightly-fitting screw, and if
it did, the phosphate it left behind would be almost as bad as the
rust.
Break Free isn't a penetrating oil, it's a lubricant with PTFE in
suspension.
WD40 isn't nearly as effective as a proper penetrating oil. It will
*prevent* rust but not remove it -- it's a water displacer.

I use WD40. It's cheap.
