You try adding Fulvic acid, humic acid, and aloe (simply cut off a leaf and squeeze out the juice) to your seed soak water.

I've heard of seeds lasting over 15 years and still germinating. A good method is scratching up the surface by shaking the seeds in a tube of sandpaper and then giving them a good 24 hour soak in water. Then putting them in a folder, wet paper towel until you see a tap root.

some go bad, depends how u store them and if were barely ripe or sat and cured in a bud for months.
clean water clean seeds important for slow starters few drops of peroxide can help, the o2 is good and keeps microbes down.
sanding never didmuch for me, the old crack in ur teeth works better esp after gave them 3.5 days with no signs of life.
GA does work, just readup on how to use it properlly.
epsom salts ive used but not sure if did much.

If they are correctly stored then you germinate them the same as fresh seeds.

Last year we germinated  lot of my old seed stock from the early 2000s.

I agree. There's other great advice here too, but I'd try a few first and save the tricks for when absolutely needed.

They should still be fine.

I would plant them in some fine potting mix and keep the soil moist under CFL's or LED's until they germinate.
