Depends on how good the bond is. Often the bond to the sleeve is reliant on the sleeve being continuous in at least one portion. Cut it in this strips, maybe warm the adhesive, and you can sometimes peel the sleeve or drive out strips. I’ve done this successfully to remove bonded in bushings and other sleeve shims on things a lot more expensive than a bike frame.

The OP mentions that the reamer grabbing the sleeve already peeled it out in one place, so there’s evidence it might work. Not a ton of harm if it doesn’t so long as nobody gets careless and drives something into the Ti portion.
