Help I do too have the same problem!!!
I would sand down and re stain! The work would be so much more appreciated as tidious as it sounds! As for that ugly wood on panel I would make faux brick out of dry wall mud! Small space even better won’t take as long ( tutorials everywhere) when mud dry start by painting brick a base color and the contrast the other hues on brick.
Or you can sand down if any of that black stuff is higher than ur stair and paint dark stairs and the seal them ! Depending on how much work you want to put into them.
Did you attempt this? I have the same situation. If so, what was your final solution?
