You can probably hit them with a propane torch and burn off the gas, but honestly i would just buy new. I wouldn't risk detonation or something crazy like that on a plug that i tried to clean.
Otherwise, maybe soak the tip in Seafoam...that might eat off enough that they're safe to use.

I have had one for years, it works great. Harbor freight has them pretty cheap.

Seems it would be cheaper just to replace them again and less risk. I've been advised not to clean Brisk plugs but buy new ones. At $16.00+ a piece (yes you heard right) they aren't cheap but still easier than pulling and cleaning then installing only to find them bad anyway and doing it all over again. THats my .02
