I received a bunch of parmesan blocks from a relative, but I think the heat made them go bad. They stayed out of the fridge for about a week during the transit. They have this oily, slimmy watery thing inside of them and when you open it they have a strong smell of parmesan(like shredded parmesan on hot pasta).

No, this is the magic juice cheeses rich in fat can produce, stills very good for eat.
I think you are good to go. When Parm is not refrigerated it will oil off but that does not mean it’s bad. It’s not going to be a safety issue.
Nah, you’re good all cheese “sweats”. If it bothers you enough you can give it a salt bath to get the oily residue off.
I gave up, it goes mouldy in the fridge in about 2 weeks. Every time.
Yeah, send it to me so I can dispose of it.
I’d eat it asap just to be on the safe side (you won’t die).
