If what you are referring to is oil soaked into the stock head behind the action, the answer is no. Any material or method that will effectively extract some of this oil will also remove the finish. Or at least ruin it.

Some oil might be wicked out if the stock is removed and put under a heat lamp at just the right distance - then the oil sopped off as it oozes out. But this is really not that effective in oil extraction.

In sum, if the oil soak is not too severe, simply live with it. Or refinish the stock.
