I normally use a 'Dremel' with a 'corse' or 'medium' grade mop type attachment if  I'm feeling tight. If you don't have a 'Dremel' or similar tool though they can be quite expensive so you might find you could replace a lot of the fixings with new ones for similar money. However, the 'Dremel' will last a long time and come in useful for many different jobs  :)

I went stainless for most of them years ago.  Well worth it.  I even splashed out on some titanium disc bolts. 


I hate rust.


An alternative would be to paint the current one.  Or clean them and cover them in grease.
