Acetone worked like a charm guys. I soaked the tips for about a minute and it swept off with just a bit of elbow grease. Then a quick polish with some steel wool and they are good as new.

Thanks guys, so many responses. I feel like I should have known, but I’m very glad to have friends to ask!

The left over acetone can be used to thin acetone based adhesives, like Duco or MultiGrip, so they can be applied in thinner layers, or to revive a bottle of adhesive that has gotten thick and sludgy because the acetone solvent as evaporated.

Those above have given great suggestions. I'd use Lacquer thinner in a sealed container to soak it clear. I'm not absolutely certain when it comes to Gorilla glue but if it's like regular super glue the Acetone or Lacquer should disolve it completely.
