Acetone worked great for me. I soaked it for about 2.5 weeks. Changed it out once when the Acetone got to discolored. After that soaked it for a couple days in alcohol to clean it up. Then let it dry for about a week or so. Haven't had any oil come back up.
Heat works, but it takes a while and is slow. Some people put it in an oven and heat it, but I was too nervous about scorching the wood or drying it out too much.
Others suggest using oven cleaner or covering it with the stuff you use to clean up oil spills in your garage. I have never tried any of those though.
There is a post on here about someone having to get it chemically extracted because it turned out the oil in his stock was whale oil. But that doesn't appear to be a common issue.
