Just had a new kitchen installed and on the cornice in a couple of places exess mitrebond has squeezed from the joint. Is there any way of safely removing it without damaging the gloss surface underneath?

you say its been installed?
if so not your problem,get the fitters back and let them sort it out,if they wreck it they have to replace it.

you can get super glue remover but like said above if recently fitted get them back
some cornice has a paper thin finish to them so easily damaged
 
Nail varnish remover could remove any shine .?
It "Could" remove the shine then again it may not. Try on an off cut or place where its not seen first.
Super glue remover is also another common way of removing but again try it first.
If its a gloss surface likely its a plastic layer over MDF.
If the kitchen has been "Signed off" as complete, what chance the fitter will come back if he has been paid anyway? The kitchen manufacturer will have guaranteed the product, so becomes their responsibility if it was their fitter. In the real world no one will take responsibility, it will become so expensive to resolve.
The question was "How do I remove mitre bond" Not who do I blame..... What can I do about...... Who`s fault....
 
I would lay money on the fact that acetone would remove the shine on a std gloss finish found on a kitchen
