Hi i build tanks aswell, but i don't think there could be a solvent to completely strip it, there could be but not that i know of. I usually peel it with a stanley knife and than do the clean up with spirits.
Can it be cut out? Razor blades are what I used in the past. Excess silicone should be easy to scrape off after.
