I have heard stories of folks successfully utilizing regular
percussive maintenance (timeframe of a year or more) on persistently
annoying wisker growing castings.  Did you bang on it?  :-)

Sounds dumb, but if you break 'em all -- you then have at least a
number of months where you can go find another receiver made out of
the different colored metal in the casting, tune it up, and just do an
on-site swap later... to get the offending casting out of the
picture... then you can try the clear spray paint trick and set the
thing on a shelf as a spare receiver...
