Have you tried TSP yet? It is more caustic than solvent but is rumored to
remove brake fluids...
You also may be able to remove it with a paint stripper; to my knowledge
DOT3 and 4 brake fluids are glycol based and may bond with an
alcohol-based stripper, enabling you to remove it... someone with more
chemistry knowledge than me should be able to clarify this
