You can buy special stuff to dissolve super glue bonds. Usually available in model shops and other places that sell 'proper' super glue. I have some called Z-7 Debonder by Pacer.

Thanks Nige, can you tell me, when you use this debonder, does it attack the rest of the plastic ?

You know why CA/Superglue is so good at sticking skin? Apparently, it was invented as an emergency stitching medium for casualty's! (or so I heard!)
