You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.
With the work you've already done the price at the pro stripping shop
ought to be lower. You're at a point now where it will be easy to
really mess up a beautiful door, attacking with scrapers and Dremel
tools. Being smart means not letting stubbornness and misplaced pride
lead to a substandard result. There is absolutely no way you can
match the results that the pros get. Save your artistry for applying a
gorgeous finish that the door deserves. Good luck.
