There are specialist products for rust removal but they are a little expensive. Its one of the harder stains to remove from natural stone.
Lithofin do a product, can't remember the name but its a dedicated rust remover as far as i know.
I'm sure someone with some actual knowledge will be along soon.

We sell this one. Never used it on granite but dont see why it wouldnt work.
What is the surface finish of the granite?

Ive used lithofin bero and rust-ex on sandstone and i wasnt overly impressed with either, used a combination of one after the other of both with hot water a jet wash and a soft wire bush - eventually got them off. But it would of been cheaper in hindsight to just lift the flag

Have you got no recourse with your supplier? We pay £3 per crate on our sawn sandstone to make sure there is no contact between nails and stone. I would have thought with polished granite the supplier would be making the effort to avoid any contact between the stone and the nails

DN/LSP you'll both notice the op is talking about a table not flags/slabs/paving.

doing a search at google gave these websites and advice

granite rust stains
remove stains from granite
I have posted 3 links as they do vary slightly with the process but the general consensus is to us a poultice what draws the stain out of the granite
good luck and I hope it works for you
