Methylene Chloride is a good paint remover, and I don't think it'll hurt the tub if you clean it up quickly. ----
There are a couple of products based on this on the market -- one is called Zip Strip.

("Paint" it on, wait a bit, depending upon the layers, and then scrape it off with a putty knife or wide bladed scraper. Get the "little bits" with steel wool soaked in the stuff.)
I doubt that you need to neutralize it on the tub as you would on wood. "Real" Tri-sodium phosphate (aka phosphate based detergent) also available in the hardware or paint store, is the normal "trick" to cleaning up the surface afterwards for re-painting.
There are also folks who will re-finish the porcelain -- never used one however.
