I've scraped tons of pipes, and I think I've found the best method.
First you have to heat the bowl, so the resin is very easy to scrape. The way I usually do this is just running a lighter under the whole pipe. But the best way is to set the pipe in a hot car for a few hours. It should heat up the resin so it is very easy to manage.
Now it's time to scrape the bowl. In the past I've used paper clips and bobby pins (which usually work well, but I have broken a bowl from scraping it). The best thing to scrape a bowl out with is a guitar string, because it is long, extremely flexible, and won't break your bowl. It's really easy to scrape normally unreachable areas using the guitar string! Just give it a shot
