You can strip the phosphate coating using the following:

Concentrated hydrochloric acid containing 20 g/l of antimony trioxide.

This solution will effectively remove the phosphate coating in a short duration with minimal attack on the base metal.

Mixing 144g of ammonium dichromate crystals to a gallon of ammonium hydroxide works as a good stripping solution for zinc phosphate. Leave the part in the solution for a few minutes.
