the stain I would bet was a solvent base. that is, mineral spirit base which has the pigment dissolved in it. the base or vehicletakes the stain and is absorbed by the porous wood, so it penetrates to a certain depth, then the vehicle or solvent evaporates leaving the stain. the clearcoat just sealed the surface. warming the clearcoat with an electric torch, you may be able to scrape it off. however I'm thinking the clearcoat may be a latex product. if water is left to sit on it - it may soften to which you can scrape it off. look on the web for a latex finish stripper.
