You can try a heat gun, they work well on certain types of paint.

It works well. I turn old doors into desks, and they typically have many layers of paint.

Hit it with a heat gun, make it bubble/burn, then let it cool completely. When you run a paint scraper over it, it'll flake right off. Much less messy than dealing with molten paint.

Also much better for the environment, paint stripper has some nasty solvents in it.
