There are chemicals available expressly for use in softening potting 
epoxies.  I gave them extensive use in un-potting electronic modules for 
reverse engineering.  If you proceed slowly in their application you can 
soften and remove a portion of the potting without disturbing circuitry 
farther from the zone of interest. Easy to use and not particularly 
messy if you exercise a modicum of care.
