Even if you use a chemical to strip the bluing, you will still have to polish that surface before you can re blue it. Yes, polishing off good bluing can seem like slow go, but it is the best way I go sometimes.
That evapo-rust that harbor freight sells is good. Or get that birch wood Casey bluing and that remover.
In order to polish down in the rib joint, take an old wide file. Cut it to a good length. Maybe 3" long and then grind a bevel on one side and use that to wrap your paper on in order to get into the crack.
