I dont think wd40 would hurt
I think optimally you would pump in a bit of oil to each rotor chamber, rotate it around and let apex seals soak, then thru the exhaust ports push the apex seals in and out to make sure they are free on each apex of each rotor before starting it..

Definitely use fogging oil instead of WD40. WD40 is a solvent, and is also very thin so I wouldn't recommend it for engine storage.
If I were you, I'd start the engine, burn off the WD40, pour a tbsp or two of oil down the carb while it's running to get it lubed up in there, then shut it off and use proper fogging oil instead.

The ATF myth changes perpetually.
Most of the time it's related to removing carbon.. here it was for storage (God no... shouldn't use ATF for storage)... it *does* work to un-seize engines I can attest to that, but I'd only even use it for that as a last resort.

eh, not all of us have access to rebuilds though :P
I've used MMO before, I like it. That being said, I've seen what it does when left in a pistons engines cylinders for a day or two and then fired. The crap that comes flying out the back is crazy. However, over winter? I'm afraid it would eat the engine from the inside out, its powerful stuff. I'd say just go with basic oil..
