If you will gently heat the spots of epoxy with a hair dryer and then try to pop or scrape them off with your thumbnail you should be okay.

In some cases you can use the end of a sharp Xacto knife, corner of a razor blade, or end of sharp dental pick, to very carefully go under one edge of the spot and lift/pop it off the blank. Just be careful not to mar the blank in the process. This method should not require any heat.

Because they epoxy fell on a slick gloss surface. You should be able to remove it without any damage to the surface.
