I had the worst strain of bubble. Ever. I also had dinos. I used DinoX on the Dinos but it was successful in ridding the bubble as well. Then I had cyano LOL.
If you're at the point that you're thinking about tearing down the rock then it's a pretty bad infestation. No manually removing that. Try the DinoX treatment. 21 days. Most corals will survive unless they were unhealthy to start with.

The biggest problem is the BA spores. They are on everything and you don't have much choice other than a complete tear down. I'm assuming you have the same sheeting bubble algae as I do. I removed all my corals to another tank after heavy dipping in peroxide. The rock has plans for an acid bath. The spores also can travel through the fish, so it's a good idea to put them in a quarantine tank for a few days until they poop several times. It would also be a good idea to treat that tank with vibrant or Fluconazole. I'm not sure if UV can kill that particular spore.
I pretty much threw my hands into the air and gave up. Gives me a chance to upgrade anyways. Good luck.

Kills pretty much every algae. Don't add it to your tank.
1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide to 20 parts salt water. Turkey baste corals and scrub frag plugs and snail shells with a toothbrush. Dip no longer than a couple mins. Then rinse well with new salt water. Bingo bango.

I second Hunggy74, DinoX and an UV sterilizer should do the job.

Vibrant destroyed my bubble algae that the emerald crab couldn't keep in check. I haven't seen a single trace of it in almost 6 months, and I stopped using Vibrant probably 5 months ago. The emerald crab was also removed as it started to pick at other things with no bubble algae left to eat.
Might be worth a try, I found it turned the bubble algae really mushy then it just started to turn white and waste away.
