Heat normally, I guess you could try the oven or maybe a soldering gun for more direct heat (not sure what that will do to the finish, nothing good I'd guess) . Loctite do make a solvent I think.
I broke the lock on my speedplays by putting a bit in the screw and applying a blow torch to that. Maybe you could scale it up, but you'd loose heat transference with the increased scale

Assuming you've already got the crank and spider separate, and you're just looking to clean up the surfaces, I'd remove big lumps mechanically (i.e. proddle them out of the way with a pointy thing) and then clean up the remaining traces with MEK or acetone. MEK works better, but is much smellier. And not everyone has it.

On the subject of glue and things, what's the best way to remove dried excess Loctite 242 from a crank / spider interface?
