Somebody already said it, but here's a repeat with some background. Shellac comes off the tree as a solid, and is liquified for use with denatured alcohol, its solvent. So denatured alcohol has to make the list of Go To shellac removers...and related to that...the gel form of alcohol may stay in place easier, if soaking's required. Purel. I splattered a bunch of shellac on some patio furniture when I was--well, I forget what I was doing with it, but I use it for lots of projects. I am an expeurt removeur of shellac. Gotta be, because I get it all over the place. I haven't tried WD-40, but I wouldn't underestimate that in any time of crisis.
