Have you tried scoring the old contact paper and then applying that same TSP Stuff you have? Once it gets under the contact paper, it might help dissolve the adhesive so it will be easier to scrape off...
Olive oil works well on glue, though I’m not sure about lots of it that’s been there for decades. EVOO not needed; I’d you try it, buy the cheap stuff!
I can see why the Italy house looks like it’s easier now. So much work! You ( and Tom) certainly have stick with it power! Rest and refresh in between!
Loved the video and the soundtrack! Thank you for sharing your trip, your sleepy dogs, and the companionable labor of those first days with everything to do! May the togetherness of it carry you through! 😬😴
I was thinking of the spray that you can use to get old wallpaper off with. Put that on before you scrape to soften the glue. Just a thought. I'm glad you made it safe and sound.
Soon you'll wish you owned stock in Home Depot or Loews! Good luck.

No advice about the grease, but I am sending solidarity!

Have you tried sand blasting?
Goof off is a good product
But maybe a bit harsh.
