I'm not sure what grit to use. Hopefully someone on the forum has got some experience with this. I have my original set as a back up in the event I lose one so I'd be interested to know.
I don't have them off as yet but that I plan on doing it with a hair dryer, dental floss and some body eraser. From what I have heard a 180 grit sandpaper should do the job.

Another option I may try is plastidip. For that I don't need to take the badges off.
I used dental floss and some cleaner. Came off easy.
