Urithane finishes are tough. Enough soaking in MEK will soften or remove some of it. They are all different as to how stubborn they can be, but usually it takes some scraping or sanding to get it all off.
Just a note about the color of a stock when using oil vs. a urithane. I have found that usually a stock finished with urithane will be lighter in color than if it is finished with an oil. This is because urithane finishes will sit on the surface more vs. an oil will penetrate the wood deeper which gives a darker color.
Every stock that I have refinished in oil, which was originally urithane, has been significantly darker in color. And in my opinion, better looking.
