Your best bet is to sand it off, if it doesn’t remove it all, try a product called Kutzit, just follow instructions, it should remove everything. After removing the paint and crackle, clean it well with denatured alcohol and give it another sanding, then wipe it off again, then you’re ready to paint.
I wouldn't paint over it. I'd strip it with Citristrip, and then sand it. Once the wood is smooth and clean have at it.
