You will be very limited in your choices for chemical stripping. Most will damage the aluminum once they come in contact with it.

Have you tried Lacquer Thinner or Acetone (nail polish remover)? It will be slow going but neither should disturb the anodizing which BTW is only a few microns thick.

Stay away from anything with Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) in it: Oven Cleaner,Fantastic, Formula 409, Castrol Super Clean, Simple Green etc. Great for removing paint, hard on Aluminum. I also believe brake fluid is in this category.
