Well, there are plenty more solvents to try. I'm just spitballing here, but how about: paint stripper (the good shit, not the 'eco-friendly' garbage), brake fluid, xylol, hydrochloric acid, I would say gasoline, but I doubt that would work... methanol, perhaps?

I'm honestly surprised that acetone didn't work. Then again, I was trying to remove a lot of urethane grout haze the other day, and just about nothing worked. Acetone did best, but evaporated so quickly, you couldn't work with it. Xylol did alright, but a little slow.
