Yep, I was well aware of the filler but seeing as someone on the Ibanez forum stripped his RGT42 with minimal filler, I guess it'd be alright. If the body's totally chuffed, I'll take it to a pro to repaint.
As for stripper, I was/am kinda nervous about using chemicals on my guitars so I decided to go the old fashioned route. I've got time anyway.

Cheers. Can't remove the neck though (neckthrough). It'd be a lot better if I could tbh, my fingerboard's totally dirty now.
I'm going to need some more sandpaper sooner or later. Way I figure, if I don't finish this by the end of easter (doubt I will), i'll just have to face the scary design tech teacher at my school and ask if I can use the palm sander.
