you don't need to get it all off. on normal monoliths, you would solder to parts such as circled. NOTE- these are not the right points, I don't have this pinout available, this is only an example.

The only reason you would remove all coating, is for a catalog photo to ID like devices in the future. If you know the pinout, you only need remove coating to expose these solder points and that's all. we are not making beautiful art here, we are recovering DATA!! ;-)

these may lead you in the right direction:
