Door jamb paint removal

I have to remove paint from forward door jamb (hinge area, not latch area) real base coat - clear coat shiny old paint. There are many crevices that I can't easily get to with a brush or sand paper, and there are also plastic/rubber parts in there as you know, and I can't take off the door, and I also in my geographic location I don't have large Home Depot style stores with unlimited chemical products. I have determined, though, that I must use a chemical product to strip the paint. I have 4 basic products I have available, and I am wondering what:

1) will be effective at stripping the paint
2) can hopefully be washed off with water
3) will not damage the plastic/rubber, etc., in the whole area of the hinges (and underneath where the product would flow and drip down)

These are the products I have available, and I can let them set on the paint surfaces for a practically unlimited amount of time if needed and re-apply as needed:

1) Turpentine
2) Environmentally friendly Graffiti Remover
3) Acetone
4) Paint thinner
5) Chicken eggs/yolks (just an idea)
6) Coca-cola (I heard it works) and if you can think of something else that would be effective and is probably available in a very rudimentary hardware store, please let me know

What do you recommend given the CONSTRAINTS above as described?

Purchase paint stripper from a paint or hardware store. If you do not remove the door you will not be happy with the results. Many threads on door removal.

You are not being realistic on what you will need to do to remove this paint safely. Door should definitely come off and rubber etc should come off. What are you going to do after paint is removed? I’m assuming paint it? These parts will interfere with proper painting as well. Aircraft paint stripper is the way to go just cover the hell out of anything that you don’t want affected. Or you can use a mixture of eggs and coke but they need to be expired cage free brown eggs and it needs to be Mexican coca-cola that is 4 degrees above room temperature
