Try paint thinners or white spirit to soften the glue and a bit of patience.

Depends on what type of thinners you use, White spirit won't!

Hovis I did this to my tank a while back, whilst under there I noticed that the paint was a little thin (just like yours) - why not use the time to give it a little extra protection to stop the dreaded rust. i have seen early sv tanks with rust underneath!
