My experience with paint stripping though (bearing in mind that Dettol is the only paint stripper I've ever used) is that it needs to soak on the model for at least a few hours to be effective. So I'm not sure how you would do that when targeting only certain parts of the model.
Yeah I usually soak things in Meths for a few hours then scrub them and paint comes off very easily, but I have seen people say that just getting the alcohol or meths on it for a short time (10 or 20 minutes) can shift it with a bit of elbow grease. But as you say, not really sure rubbing it on would even be anywhere near as effective as 10 minutes of soaking.
I figured I'd try with some of the less important figures, but was wondering if anyone else had done it before or had some success another way. Realistically even taking a layer or two of paint off would be a plus, as I assume it's two layers and a wash over a spray prime, so adding probably two thin layers of white undercoat on top of that, then two layers and a wash on top, it starts to sound like a lot of paint!
