There's only two ways of removing undercoating that I know of:
Mechanically removing the coating.
Chemically removing the coating.
I've done a bit of both and by far for the ease of work and the cleanest
results I'll use chemicals any day. Mechanically removing it means wire
brushes, chisels, scrapers, knives, etc. It is pure brute force and no fun
at all. If you use an aircraft stripping agent, it will melt away pretty
easily leaving an undamaged surface beneath it. The shed material dries
out pretty fast and can be swept up like so many wood chips. You still do
scraping, but nowhere near to the same extent.
