Stanley blade?

"Lift off" paint remover. Somehow it magically removes only the paint you want gone. At least that's been my experience over the past week in exactly the same situation you've described.
And also on some black painted hardware with white overspray.
And on glass.
And on oak floors.
Assholes. They've come back twice and still can't manage to get the job done so I've taken it upon myself.
I apply the spray to a fabric cloth and rub until the paint comes loose which usually takes about 15 seconds and then I hit it with a soaking wet towel. I find much less collateral damage than a razor.

Whoever last painted my window frames made no attempt at masking and got loads of it on the aluminium. Most of it came off with a kitchen sponge and sugar soap, but I've ended up down the rabbit hole of trying to get right into the corner and it's more awkward than expected.
Any suggestions of how to go about it without damaging the actual windows? Am not worried about the wood, that's gonna be repainted.
Have a Dremel but none of the attachments to hand have been much use. Seem to have the effect of melting the paint and smearing it around rather than removing it. Also have a small Bosch multi sander, but can't see anything less abrasive than actual sanding sheets for it.
