I've often wondered myself, I think you've tried what I would!
Suspect, that if they do go ping its a blessing in disguise, as they might have pinged over a bump.
I think the truth of the matter is that they're not really supposed to be "adjusted", because this really means something untoward has happened. Once rust has set in, its unlikely much can be done.
The answer is to cut them out and put in complete new spokes, I'm afraid
Barry.
