I just had a brainstorm Cosmic. I'm assuming the handbrake cables are still attached to the car but dangling freely? If so, try filling up a coke bottle with vinegar and submerge the offending cable end into it as far as it will go and tape the bottle to the cable. Leave to soak for a few days, shaking the bottle now and again.
If this doesn't free it up, or at least get rid of the corrosion then nothing will!
I've tried vinegar to remove rust from nuts n bolts and it definitely works
