I have a female BNR connector that I think needs oxidation removed from
inside. It's a bit too tight for emery paper. Any suggestions?

Before you give up and replace it, you might try
one of those liquid tarnish removers. The one I
have is called "Tarn-X", but it is decades old so
I don't know if they are still in business.

Basically, you dip the part in the solution for a
moment and then rinse it off THOROUGHLY.
The label says it contains "acidified thiourea,
detergent, and corrosion inhibitors." Probably
not the kind of stuff you want on electronic
parts! However, I have used it on ancient DIPs
that had silver plated leads, so oxidized as to be
unsolderable. The magic liquid cleaned them
instantly, and I never had any later problems
with the circuit.
