Hi, I have a spot on my home on painted stucco where apparently someone caulked an area with silicone. Would this work to remove it?

I doubt it. This is good for removing the actual silicone but not any spots left behind.

does the silicone remover damage paint?

@chromesphere

Probably, but you'd have to check with the manufacturers guidelines

It's ok on most surfaces, but each brand is different so they recommend you test a little on an area that cannot be seen first. It should be ok, but always best to test first ;-)
