I would think that a plastic safe solvent would clean it up well.
My only concern is are there places that are lubed before assy that can not be lubed properly after cleaning.
Example...
I cleaned a window regulator in a tub of paint thinner.
A bit of a mistake due to the internals of the crank shaft. ( A anti rotate mechanism is inside)
After cleaning and lubing the contact points the crank sounded like a grinder
Either lube was removed or grit got inside.

Ah I have a bunch of window regulators I need to clean as well…
Technically you could drill the rivets and then clean the innerards and screw it back with nylock nuts.
All I know is on a 56 Ford pickup I lubed the mechanism and could roll the windows down by pulling down in the glass. There is some type of brake mechanism inside that prevents that and the lube made it slip.

Your a dentist. Bring home some tools from work. Tooth brush & paste come to mind.
Brakleen and a soft tooth brush (worn out). Be sure to put white grease back on the nylon sliders and their metal runs.
EEEWWWW!!!! I think I'd try the second one!

Have no clue, just got it off the inter webs lol.
You could soda blast every bit of that.
@RustyRatRod I don’t have a soda blaster. I have a sand blaster at my office but it is small and only fits crowns for your teeth
