It`s unfortunate the "heat and scrape" followed by sanding method is not working. Try persisting with heat on an unseen area to see if you can get the varnish to bubble ready to scrape.
I dislike the mess and dangers of chemical stripper but there may be no alternative. Do not use a commercial stripper (of any kind) to do the job without knowing how it will be done. Here things went into a caustic soda bath, the finish came off but the white residue left in the grain of some valuable pieces of Australian red cedar furniture(nothing like pine type cedar) was ugly.
