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...
