You are absolutely allowed to remove it, you just have to replace it. The correct thickness is "try to wipe it all off with kitchen tissue", it really shouldn't be a grease hazard to clothes.
Also washing up liquid should do the trick.
Eggs pretty much work like meat when it comes to stickiness, just with an even tighter window when it comes to right temperature and it's even more important to let the thing be for a while before attempting to move it.
Also, yes, scraping. I use a burger flipper spatula which practically has a knife edge at the front. Ideally though things should be moving when you shake the pan, that is, loosen on their own.
You're motivating me to start looking into pans again. The only one I have is a warped The Rock ceramic non-stick pan (that absolutely does stick) and it has basically the disadvantages of Teflon (although I don't think it's actually Teflon) without the advantages.
I've wanted a quality, rivet-free, stainless steel pan for a long time. Maybe it's time, instead of waiting for my crap pan to finally die.
Ceramics can take plenty of heat, the non-stick isn't stellar but it's there (and probably better or worse depending on manufacturer). And you can reduce tomato sauce in it without killing the patina because there is none. If the anti-stick properties degrade sodium percarbonate should fix that, stripping oil and polymerised oil and everything out of the microstructure. It's basically good ole enamel but with rougher surface. Kind of like those fancy lotus effect sinks.
If your go-to is stainless then I don't think there's real advantages, if you want a second pan then I'd go with iron for actual anti-stick, and do those tomato sauces in stainless.
