Angle Grinder.
Seriously I don't think there is anything that will shift it and
leave a presentable surface afterwards. Probably easier to replace
the partition with a new one or reface it.
ISTR xylene or Hammerite thinner (for the old Hammerite) will soften it
(eg Evostick) enough to lift it off with a sharp wood chisel and a
steady hand. There is a real risk of collateral damage and/or being
overcome by fumes in a confined space.
I have some xylene thinners on the boat - I'll try (remembering to
keep the doors open when I do it).
I'll also try heat as someone else recommended as I have a heat gun
too.
