I am going to get my tires flipped and rebalanced before Hallett. I have an insane amount of pick-up on my tires. What is the best way to get this off so I don't throw off the balance?

I can think of two ways:
1. Spend an hour or two (like Glenn did w/ his radiator ) and pick it all off with a screwdriver.
2. Do a nice burnout in my driveway, swap tires front to back, and repeat.

Ideas?
