A hair dryer may prove to be too wimpy. A heat gun should put out enough
heat to soften the sealer enough to make removal possible.

What is recommended to remove it without damaging the sink (which is
cast iron with porcelain enamel)? The strainer body is quite rusty,
and I fear that it may have been glued in with epoxy or other glue.

I don't have a clue, but I know what I'd try absent of better ideas.
Heat.
Not a torch, but a hair dryer. Gently tap it or twist it.
