I doubt that there is any reasonable way to do this. The inode is a mount point, so the unlink system call can't touch it. I would just rename to "..." and leave it alone. It isn't causing much trouble. It's like a bullet too close to a spine...it's too risky to attempt removal.
One thing that might work would be to try nfs. Export or share the root volume. And then use nfs to "remotely" mount a second copy of it. Then try the unlink via nfs. This really should fail, but with nfs, you never know.
And the final option would be editing the raw device. You may have a program called fsdb for this purpose.

compile_link
COMPILE_LINK(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation COMPILE_LINK(1p)
NAME
compile_link -- compile and copy Interchange link CGI
VERSION
1.0
SYNOPSIS
compile_link [-p NNNN] [-s sfile] [-h host] [-w N] \
[--perl] [-nf] [-o outputfile] [-b dir] [-s dir]
DESCRIPTION
The "compile_link" program configures (including compilation if necessary) a link CGI for talking to the Interchange server daemon.
If the --perl option is given, it will not compile but instead use the tlink.pl program, setting its variables as needed.
Designed to be used in conjunction with Interchange's makecat.
OPTIONS
-b dir, --build=dir
Sets the directory where the build files will be made. Default is "src" in the Interchange software directory.
-h hostname, --host=hostname
Sets the host address or host name that should be compiled into the TCP-based link program. This sets the default, which still can be
overridden by "MINIVEND_HOST" in the environment of the executing process.
-p NNNN, --port=NNNN
Sets the port number that should be compiled into the TCP-based link program. This sets the default, which still can be overridden by
"MINIVEND_PORT" in the environment of the executing process. The port must be higher than 1024.
-s sfile, --socket=sfile
The name of the UNIX-domain socket file which should be compiled into the UNIX-domain link program. This sets the default, which still
can be overridden by "MINIVEND_SOCKET" in the environment of the executing process.
--source=dir
Sets the directory containing the source files. Default is "src" in the Interchange software directory.
-w N, --timeout=N
The number of seconds the link program should wait for a connection before sending its timeout page.
