Default removing bedliner from bed bolts

Gettin ready to throw a body lift on my truck in the next few weeks and i stupidly covered the bed bolts when i did my bedliner. What will dissolve through herculiner without screwin up the metal? Should acetone or paint stripper do the trick?

Herculiner is basically rubber, so take your knife and cut around where you want it off and just pull it off it shouldn't be too hard. It's xylene based but after hard idk if that'll do anything

As said, you can't dissolve it, but use a razor blade and cut around the bottom of the bolt head and then start scraping it off so you can get a socket in the bolt, then take the bolts out.
