Brace yourself folks! 
I decided to use the old trick of using Solvaset to remove lettering without altering the paint... It works! Fast, easy, no mess, no special product... it just works.
I soaked the lettering in solvaset using a cotton swab. About 5 minutes. I think less is possible. Then using a scrap of styrene, I gently scrapped the lettering... Some use pencil easer and toothpick to achieve the same result.
