An interesting question that has not been asked before. Personally I would buy one from a scrapper. Use a wire to cut through the adhesive.

I use a copper wire or fishing line rather than flame. For this item I would remove it myself after testing, not a blind used buy which as you suspect may not be any different.
If you find a fix do post up. The paper trick may see you through to obtaining a new one.

Copper wire? Fishing line? What's this all about, Red Green?

Too involved. At scrappers I just yank parts off but a copper wire (from cable offcuts) or nylon is 'soft' and does not scratch. Otherwise I hammer a blade into the bonding.
