First things first, put it in a bath of WD40 for the next 2 days minimum or that other stuff.
then try heat therapy, and then if its really fucked, its really fucked and its best to cut your losses at that point and get a new frame- I bet you I can find you one for less than you can possibly imagine- seeing as our college has loads that people have left (people I know have left!) and many other colleges do too.
When first building my first fix i was using a dumpstered raleigh, but it was fucked, and then a fucked pug I found at college, so that was the end of 10 days exhausting work with dremels, hammers and tongs.
If they haven't tried with the heat gun- sometimes they allow it on Tuesday evenings- as if you fuck up your own frame, they can't be blamed.
That is your best option, my tool kit isn't extensive enough to contain powertools.
BTW, I'm the guy on a small silver frame with green risers, and lots of card in my back wheel.
