Default How to remove old oil pan gasket?

I took the oil pan off my '84 VW Rabbit (diesel). Unfortunately, most
of the old (paper) gasket stuck to the bottom of the engine. How do I
remove it? It's practically superglued on. I've tried gasket remover, a
scraper, a razor blade, a wire wheel on a Dremel... the stuff clings to
my engine block with tenacity!

Any tips on getting it off before I take a grinder with a wire wheel to
it?
