You can try heating it with a torch, not too much, just enough to
soften it. Then take it off with a wire brush.

A pressure washer with a turbo nozzle should do it

The thicker portions may pull of like a length of rope. I dealt with
the problem around wood windows with limestone siding. I didn't
contemplate trying to remove it from the limestone, as it was too rough,
irregular and tough work. I cut back as well as I could and put new
caulk and paint out to edge of the old to clean up appearance-wise. If
the brick is smoothe enough, it might turn out well enough if you cut
back, with sharp scraper or razor, to level it out.

DAP® CAULK-BE-GONE® Caulk Remover . *

I've used it in around bathrooms. Apply and allow to set (not as long
directions say) and remove.
