I had to remove a case part once that had been attached incorrectly with poly glue and did a bit of research. Think polyester finish- you can grind it off but you can't strip it because after catalysis the material is basically inert. Heat from a heat gun will burn the shanks before it affects the glue. Mechanical removal appears to be the only option as far as I could find out.

If you had to do something with these, maybe heat would be the right thing to try. good luck Ed Foote RPT http://www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/index.html www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/well_tempered_piano.html
