At the risk of being flamed...

I'm currently installing tile and using a thin plywood for spacing. I'm have
decent luck sanding the plywood spacers for re-use as I progress. I don't
think that you are going to have any luck 'chipping' the dry material off.
Likely you'll break the tile..

Unless others have a better suggestion...
