Lacquer thinner should soften most epoxies. "Aircraft Remover" would be an even better choice.

Acetone.

If all else fails, try Lye or Drano in crystal form.

A sharp knife or chisel will remove the majority of the built-up glue; solvents suggested above will get the rest. If you want to clean out the tenon hole, use a drill bit first, then scrape out the remainder.

Heat. You're going to re-install a front sight anyway, so get out the propane torch. Heat it up and scrape it off. Use a plastic scraper though or you'll scratch the SS to blazes.
