none of those worked. I don't have any more Dawn on hand.

According to their own marketing material, Dawn is very good at breaking up and dispersing grease. I don't know if this includes the type of grease that you are having trouble with but they use Dawn to rescue wildlife exposed to crude oil spills.
Hopefully it will be equally effective on grease pencils and it should be gentle enough to not pose any damaging effects on the vinyl itself. Their marketing blurb is something like "tough on grease but gentle on hands".
Its worth a shot. If it doesn't work, all you will waste is the money on some good dishwashing liquid.

below that immediately attacked all or part of the grease pencil mark. Dawn didn't even start to budge the mark. Other detergents/surfactants like Dawn that I tried also had no effect on the grease pencil. I even tried Original Woolite that I use in my own record cleaning fluid, but it was ineffective. Lighter fluid, alcohol, and enzymes had the greatest effect. I didn't try anything that I believed harmful to the vinyl, such as acetone, etc.
But I would try letting it soak a while to see if the grease pencil will loosen up.
By now the cleaners that you've used have removed the top level grease, you are likely dealing with the tough stuff and nothing is going to remove that easily. It will take time and persistence.
At least the Dawn won't do anything to the LP itself. It may not work at all but it won't affect the vinyl itself.
