this looks like a cast iron or porcelain tub??? have you tried krud kutter found at home depot? they make a paint you roll on to cover stains as well
I found relief by using the non caustic oven cleaner.
I cannot address what you have already tried but can tell you what worked for me. This appears to be a steel tub but the porcelain coating is the same as used on cast iron, like mine. I tried many things too. The one that worked is Kohler Cast Iron Sink Cleaner. Looks like Soft Scrub but it's a different formulation. Made my tub, which looked every bit as bad as yours, glisten. Takes a lot of rubbing but if you do a bit at a time it is manageable. Please let us know if you try it and the results.
You may need to resurface the tub.
Here are some options and advice on this, plus an article on doing it yourself. Best wishes on this.

Hi Linda. You can try CLR. Just make sure it won't ruin the tub. I am not sure the material of yours. Also wear gloves.
Remove & replace or have a fiberglass overlay installed. I had “professionally done” re-surfaced a perfectly good 🛁cast iron porcelain coated tub just to change the color. �HUGE MISTAKE !!! Had it redone ”professionally” twice. We have not used the tub since because it’s still peeling. It now gets dusted/gently wiped out when needed.

I used a mixture of vinegar and Dawn dish soap (in the blue bottle). 1 C vinegar and 1 C Dawn. I heated the vinegar for 1 minute in the microwave, mixed the two into a spray bottle. My horribly stained tub came out like new!
How can I get rid of my rust stains in my tub?
I had the same problem only worse. Mine was turning from yellow to a strange gray color. I ended up having my tub recoated By a professional who does porcelain recoating for local hotels. It cost about $400 when I did it 9 years ago. It wasn’t totally perfect like a brand new tub, but it was white and glossy and looked very good for a 55 year old tub. Over the years there have been a few very small spots that have chipped off. Overall, it still looks pretty good for its age. I think it was a good option for me At the time, especially when considering the cost and labor of removing the old tub and installing a new one. I expect this tub to last for several more years.
Bar keeper's friend is a great one, so is iron out, iron out stinks but you sprinkle it on wet tub and let it sit. After a few minutes wipe away and rinse. Reapply to any remaining stain. Also works great in toilet.
If iron out doesn't remove stain you will have to repaint it with the tube resurfacing kit. Kits are easy to use and it's not like you're going to make it worse. Lol
Use easy off over cleaner this should do the
trick
THANKS EVERYONE!
