I would hit it with a wire wheel on an angle grinder and then maybe some heat. While they are still warm (not hot) spray them with a penetrant like PB Blaster. Let them set for a few days and keep spraying with the penetrant. You may even TAP then with a brass hammer to try and free them up. Just use common sense instead of force and you should be able to at least save the pistons. Be extremely careful not to exert too much pressure on the lands in between the ring grooves, these break real easy. Keep in mind it took several years to get this way and it will take more than several minutes to undo this. Just what I would try.
