I've been told that some paint strippers attack the grp; dunno which ones tho.

You are thinking of dichloromethane based paint stripper eg the old fashioned NitromorsI've been told that some paint strippers attack the grp; dunno which ones tho.
If it is just drips, try a fingernail?
Dilunet is the one referred to by Refueller in Post#7 as needing to be removed from GRP .White spirit is unlikely to have any effect after 2 weeks
Try acetone if you have any but prolonged contact with gelcoat will soften it.
A very sharp chisel may be effective but care needed to prevent damage
A caustic soda based paint stripper may be the best bet ( provided its not 2 pack or polyurethane varnish) eg Owatrol Marine Strip or Owatrol Dilunett or simply a fairly concentrated ( say around 15 to 20% ) solution of caustic soda
You don't tell us what varnish it is !
