Can I remove safers 3 in 1 from a finished product so it's edible or smokeable?

I was screwed from the beginning of bud with several aphids species, so instead of throwing it away I used Safers 3 in 1 in hopes of being able to recover an extract in the end that would be usable for personal medical use. I tested a puff and as expected it was soapy and horrible. Can I winterize using alcohol and a Buckner funnel and get a usable product for myself or am I spinning my wheels?
 
I started washing/ rinsing them around 2 weeks ago with a garden sprayer and RO water. Have washed the plant I just took 3 time before harvesting. I know safers says its safe and degrades and is organic but I also know you NEVER spray your bud when it has tricomes, but had to and have since learned about baking soda for PM and alcohol for aphids.

. I am going to start spraying/ rinsing off the rest daily and watching tricomes so they will have a week or more of being washed which may help a little, but from the soap taste in my mouth today, which ain't something I would wish on an enemy, (I took a puff last night at 6pm), so presently I am of the opinion that no matter how many showers they take, they are not smoke-able in their herbatious state. I am fairly sure that this is a "hail mary" salvage operation. I am hoping someone with more knowledge than I can help before I become an expert through practice by effort. I am going to try a bubble bag run as the next logical step, but the next and likely final step in my plan will be winterizing- alcohol-buckner funnel- vacume filtering and use as an edible. The option that I think would possbly work is CO2 extraction but I am a finacially limited medical user/ home grower and don't got a spare 20 grand for a CO2 extractor. So what do you think?

Make bubble hash, should wash out.
 
Just to add a comment since it popped into my head, I see people admitting to "rookie" mistakes in the growing area, and I have to say that I have been growing my own medicine for a long time and even the best growers keep learning and making mistakes. Farming is a 24/7 job and there's always room for learning and even if you think you are a rookie, or are just guessing, I will listen to any input and can only learn more through intelligent discourse. Thanks .
