Yes, WD40 is [or was] primarily a Water Displacing fluid and seems to have earned an undeserved [in my opinion] reputation as a releasing fluid...
As Dickie65 says there are much more potent releasing agents available. We used to have a product here called Uncle Sam we
used- goodness knows what was in it but it smelt very strongly of amyl acetate and was most likely toxic, but it would release anything, you could actually see the rust/carbon running off the fastener in liquid form.
