I would simply wash in warm water, nothing over 100F. Maybe a couple drops of liquid dish soap. Should be mostly water-soluble. As long as they're not stuck together.
Is this worth the effort?
The best answer I can give is that it is to the one who reached out to me and asked for my help, so I'll do what I can.

Don't do anything that will soften the gelatin emulsion
There's no reason to let the negatives soak long enough for the gelatin to soften. The developing process is far more aggressive than wetting dry negatives, agitating a bit, then rinsing them.
softening of a gelatin layer in an alkaline solution is a very rapid process; within a minute or two, the emulsion will swell/soften noticeably.
