Paint thinner is extremely thin oil and can get into tiny places.
Fill an oil can and with table feet up squirt all places and keep them wet as they soak in.
Next screw a pair of nuts to the end of the rod and jamb them together.
Get an impact. Driver and turn the air down as you do not want to break something.
Just camp on it and the rod will counter some of of the of the impact but it can get worked loose.
Use a wire wheel and buff clean the outside part and drive in as well as out.
Once it turns go slow and keep oiling.
Last resort is drill small hole in center of thread interface cutting the thread in one place.
If 1/2 diameter bolt drill 1/8 hole 1/4 inch off center.
This allows oil into more thread area and expansion of the nut.
