You may need to use heat in combination with the penetrating oil with
applications over several days. Heat (as evenly as possible around the
area where the rotor meets the hub), spray (I like PB Blaster), let it
sit for a while (30 minutes or an hour) and repeat. Use the BFH evenly
around the hub rotor. That can send vibrations through the joint than
help break the corrosive bond that's holding the pieces together.
You'll probably have better luck finessing this than trying to brute force
it.
