What's the best substance for enabling one to remove baked-on grease
from the side of a pot? It has picked it up from sitting on the
stovetop for years of cooking beside it (I have little space).

409 or its equivalent has not worked. How about WD40? Vinegar? Any
ideas?

How about just using some spray on oven cleaner like EZ-Off?

IIRC it's basically lye.

Wear rubber gloves if you start scrubbing the stuff, it'll start burning
your skin pretty quickly.

HTH,

Yep, if it won't damage the pot. Grease plus lye
makes soap!

Oven cleaner. Read the instructions, use it outdoors if it's the stinky
kind.

But caution is required...

The OP didn't identify the material used to make the pot. Lye (the major
component of oven cleaner) is quite reactive with aluminum and will
destroy it.
