Are there any chemical that can disolve or remove epoxy?

Yes. Methylene chloride is one. Do a google search on stripping epoxy. I think there are more environmentally friendly options out there. Sand blasting also works.

If possible you can heat it up to 1800C and scrub it.

Is this posted in the BioMed section because you need to remove the epoxy from your body?

If yes, the other comments might not be things to try.
