Hot air is your friend when trying to get that epoxy potting off. It crumbles if heated to ~200C.

Ok yes I saw that indeed but I don't have a hot air station but I assume the correct metal pins are now exposed for receiving a wire. So a knife also works.

I'm just experimenting with roasting the chip in the oven as an alternative.
