The coating is not soluble in isopropyl alcohol, but it is (slightly) in acetone.
Buy some nail polish remover, but make sure that it says 100% acetone.
Use a damp (not dripping) Q-tip and "erase" the coating with some elbow grease.

And you would lose the water resistance by removing the coating, right?
