Removing paint from crevices in door frame

Hi,
First time buyer here as of 2 weeks ago and I'm getting on with stripping paint from my doors and skirting in the line using a heat gun. I love it.
Anyway, I'm finding it hard to get the paint out of the grooves and crevices in the shape of the door frame. The paint bubbles of course but I'm worried I'm damaging the door by using the wrong scraper.
What do people use in these types of spots?
Thanks
