I saw a cool method by placing bags of dry ice for 15 minute the stuff just popped right off. Never tried it but I will next time.

Please film it and show us.

Last time I did it was heat gun, hand chisels, scapers, screw drivers, wire brush on drill.
Hours and hours of cleaning up.
Then lacquer thinner
