  I would get a stripper that says it will remove stain on the front of the can like Kleen-Strip. Its caustic so use kitchen rubber gloves and do it in the garage or a well-ventilated space. I would use 000-0000 steel wool to remove the stain, after scraping the finish off lightly with the grain. If its not light enough for the stain you want to use, then I would use wood bleach to get the wood lighter. Work with the grain when scraping and using the steel wool.

Avoid sandpaper and use "steel wool" - in quotes, because a plastic abrasive as fine as steel wool WITHOUT steel is made and is HIGHLY recommended to prepare a polyurethane surface.
