I have found Pine Sol to soften plastic on Atlas bodies if left to soak too long. If 91% isopropel alcohol doesn't work, I would try denatured alcohol first rather than brake fluid. The denatured alcohol will only be alcohol, no oil or lubricant. My preference is to not introduce any oil to the model in the course of removing paint. If any oil is introduce to the model, it may not wash off completely before repainting.
