Gel paint stripper and a coarse stripper pad works fine and is easy. Lather them up, throw them in a plastic bag for a while and the paint will come off easily without abrading the wood too much. Rinse them off well, sand and reseal and reprime. Good to go. If you are worried about adhesion (which isn't a problem in my experience) wipe them off with Wilbond before priming.
