I've got a section of a shower stall that suffered from some water

tile from the greenboard and also remove the old mastic to re-use the
tile?

There are mastic removers that are citrus-based that will soften the
mastic without damaging the tile or you. I've never used the stuff,
but try some of the citrus-based hand cleaner. That'll probably work.
BTW, greenboard _and_ mastic in a shower is a _very_ bad idea. Either
one is bad, both together is simply nuts. You can pretty much count
on having to repair more of the shower stall. Sorry.
