I've used a little lacquer thinner and don't recall it marring the finish.
But try it on an inconspicuous area first, but I know that's hard to do on a
flyrod. Do you have a section from a broken rod or one you don't care so
much about?

I'm redoing some guides on one of my rods and I was wondering if it's ok
to use something like rubbing alcohol to get off any excess epoxy left
under the wraps.
You need to do it while it is wet. A spatula is the recommended way to
move
the epoxy back onto the wrap. I prefer to make 2 light coats of epoxy, not
worrying about final finish. It always turns out right.
Don't sweat the overage on a handmade rod. View it as the decor of a
personally handmade rod.
