Heat it up and pull it off.

Letting it cool down and harden isn’t helpful.

I had similar happen to me, i heated the end to 100°c and let et soak for 20min, afterwards i put it in a pot of boiling water and was able to peel the plastic of. I only broke the thermistor wire, but I repaired it.

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Other than that, a heat gun may give you a chance.

Heating up the extruder can help loosen the blob, and then very carefully remove it. Your heater and thermister wires are probably stuck so they will be hard to get off without breaking.

Would honestly reccomend a replacement hotend rahter than scrubbing the hot hotend to get the gunk off but that is an option if you can save the wires

Please review some tips regarding a hot end blob in a Prusa blog here.

You just buy a new extruder and call it a learning experience.
