Check the DIY retailers - there might be a solvent available for bathroom flexible sealant - that'll probably do the job.
If not, maybe try cellulose thinners - it won't dissolve it but it will help loosen the bond with the ali so you can winkle it out more easily.
You might also to try a hot air stripping gun - BUT NOT WITH THE THINNERS!!!
DON'T be tempted to muck around with strong acids or alkali/caustics - you'll ruin your nice new surface!!

Pretty sure acetone is available as nail varnish remover??
If its blue hylomar; i have used petrol to get it off before.
Push soft cloth or tissue to pack round the goo and soak for a bit with petrol or white spirit.
If it leaves an shabby un-blasted mess behind after scraping and prodding with a small screwdriver; how about a little sensitive touch up spray with VHT or PJ1 heat resistant spray after a little masking off!!

I am assuming that as you say it is Blue then we are talking about Hylomar (a superb product developed in the 1960's for the Rolls Royce aero division) - The product is acetone based to keep it fluid, once applied the acetone evaporates and the product seals - the re application of acetone wiill remove it
