I’ve used acetone ( nail polish remover ) to remove/harden the soft touch plastic that went sticky on several things.

That’s surprising. Acetone dissolves a lot of plastics even when they are in a new state. I might try it in a small area but I’m skeptical. I would expect it to worsen the situation.

Isopropyl alcohol will fuck up some plastics too.

Yes acetone can dissolve some plastics. So testing is wise. And cleaning after using it is important. I used an acetone damped paper towels and rubbed.
