advice on removing glued on knobs?

got a Jewel New Yorker TR-4, the tuning knobs been replaced and it seems a prior owner decided to glue the volume knob on. i tried to twist/pull the knob with it held in place (hence the metal scratch marks) but it doesnt want to go. not sure what to do here since i fear most glue solvents will damage the plastic knob and for all i know it has glue all the way down the knob so it might be impossible to really get at anyway.

im half tempted to just cut the shaft and glue it back on after recapping?

seen a lot in radios but never wasp nests.

got a GE C-241A, heard rattling and looked inside to see 6 old mud wasp nests (ones out of frame behind the electrolytic) thatll be fun to remove lol.
