I have heard that oil(s) on a brake pad, can cause them to swell. Is it a drum or disk brake? are new pads available? If not, maybe a grinder can remove some of the material, back to specification. Haven't tried using a torch to remove excess impregnated oil, so don't know how well that might work.
