And even then, stockfish still gives a slight advantage to black—around -.8 or -.9 or so.

Yeah, the line I was looking at is actually:
19. Qe1 - Rxd2
Which gives a +2 advantage to white IF you find h4, with the same idea of deflecting the queen away from d5, but without that rook trade.
The sort of thing that seems easy when Stockfish tells you to do it, but I do think is findable once you have the idea to go after that pawn.
They could capture with the queen instead of the rook, but even that is only a -0.6 advantage for black.
