You could try soaking in warm (not red hot) water which might make the expoxy soften.
Sadly if its a two part epoxy there isn't a release agent to help you on your way, you'll more than likley to break the parts before the bond.

I think the best thing here is to start again,re-order the parts you need from the back order store.
now when using any glue apply with toothpicks or pins,never take the glue bottle to the object,I've ruined many a model doing that.
