Possible solution?

Have you tried sticking the pin in the freezer? Molecules tend to tighten when frozen; super glue tends to tighten due to it's chemical reaction after contact. Freezing the pin should get the already tight glue to literally crack off the enamel due to the abnormal amount of shrinkage. Please remember to use a plastic or wood skewer-type item (or even your fingernail) so you do not mar the metal or the enamel. Test the process by using short amounts of time and increase each interval period; do not leave the pin in too long, as the plastic enamel may crack. Metal miniature military model enthusiasts use the freezing process to strip poor glue jobs without damaging the metal. Lastly, try using a soft rubber eraser for any smaller residual pieces after using the plastic/wood skewer; be careful not to rub out any silk-screened details that may be printed on the plastic enamel.

Whatever you do, do not use hard chemicals or acetone-based glue stripping solutions!!! Many of the harsher chemicals can eat through plastic and rub off paint from metal; pin enamel may not hold up as it is a plastic-based filler. (True cloisonne pins do survive harsh abrasives since real colored glass tends to be baked into the metal base, ask any old military veteran who has used Brasso on medals). Metal miniature military model enthusiasts (again) use acetone and /or harsh chemical solvents to strip glue AND paint from their miniatures.

I know it is a bit much, but hope this helps and good luck!
