Cleaning tub grout?

Alright, experts...

One of our bathrooms was previously painted with a lovely forest green... latex. Over the years the green has oozed down the walls like cheap mascara after a prom-night breakup.

On the tiles, this isn't a problem as it wipes right off. The grout, however... it's seeped in over the last 7 years or so, resulting in a lovely green-tinged grid separating the mostly-white tiles.



Now that we're repainting (with the right paint), the wife wants to use a white paint to go over the grout... I think this will look like $#!t. She was looking for a "grout paint" at Home Depot; the guy there recommended a grout saw to chew the top layer off the grout, after which the grout is just re-done. Unfortunately, while this is probably the BEST method, this would mean re-doing ALL the grout around the tub to avoid it looking half-assed...

Is there anything else I can try to get the green out of the grout? A grout "bleach" or something?
