SUCCESS!
I ended up using WD-40, because I found a great little product at work: they make a pen applicator WD-40 stick! It's like a firm tip highlighter. I was able to apply a little bit of the magic juice to the bad spot, then use the tip to flake/scrub the gum right off. Worked like a freaking charm! In about five minutes and two paper towels,
I went from this:
