Is there a specific strength of magnet to use and/or a specific spot to place the magnet to that would be easy to access and hard for the owner to notice? I'm just asking for purely scientific purposes.

Well it's fucked up and don't do it, but I imagine a dusting of magnetized iron filings would work great.

Nah, after reading the article it sounds like the corrosion was probably caused by the large advertising magnet getting moisture trapped under it.

Also, don't use the oven cleaner that is already available at at grocery store.

Wondering about a light dusting of toner film or powder...
