There isn't anything.
Acrylic solvent welds the acrylic together. It's not a glue, so there is no bond to break, it's like one piece when it's done.
About all you can do is try to break it, or you can use a hacksaw, dremel, etc to cut off the support as close as you can get, then sand it down flush, or shave it down with a sharp chisel.
There isn't any way I know of to do it that will look pretty when done, but if it's inside a canopy then perhaps that won't matter.
