I'm not an expert, but I would try heat - a heat gun.

Subject: [mhvlug] Hidden Chips
What's that cheap black glop that hardens that they put over chips when
they don't want anyone to be able to see the numbers on it? More
important, how can I remove it and read whatever numbers are on the
chip? The board and chip don't need to be functional, and time isn't
much of a concern. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
BTW, the camera it's from was part of Linux's libgphoto2 project,
helping implement support for the JL2005B/C/D chips, often found in
"toy" digital cameras (USB ID 0x0979:0x0227).
