removing old guides

Well it is that time of year to start building a few new rods!
But the first rod I built 3 seasons ago is starting to good bad!! I used to thick of epoxy on it and it is cracking around the guide feet, and the guides are starting to rust a little bit.
So now that I no a little bit more (a little bit) I would like to do this rod over.
It is a St.Croix F70M-BK and I have it set up conventional.

What is the best way to clean the epoxy off with out damage to the blank??
I have a junk rod in the basement that got broken and I have tryed a dremel tool but I am not that steady of a had I guess, I nicked the blank on every guide

Thanks guys
