You are correct that the MEK is both bad for you and the boat. Best bet is mechanical removal for the old glue and saving the chemicals for prepping the surface for new glue.
Sand paper works for small areas. For larger glue removal I have had good luck with a paint and rust removal wheel that fits in a drill. Like this...

You still need to be very careful and and take your time so you don't gouge the material. But man is it a time saver.
