If it were my project I would avoid chemical strippers and sand blasting . Both are too aggressive for aluminum IMO. I'd start by blasting with walnut shells. If that was too light a touch then plastic beads would be the next step. Neither of these will leave pits in the aluminum.

I've used this, worked great.
Permatex gasket remover. Spread it on the surface, let it sit a good 15 minutes and then wipe off with paper towels/rags. Some areas require more than one application.
The part I was stripping was aluminum. No damage or ill effects.
