I have successfully removed potting epoxy (the hard black stuff) on driver boards with a hot air tool without having the ICs desolder. I'm still using those drivers until now I can give it a try but would stop if there is no sign of the heatsink coming off.
Either way, the priority is scoping it for the switching performance. I'll post updates as I progress on the testing.
Ya, there's no reason to remove the heatsink. It requires the heatsink to run properly. That's part of the driver design.
