Wear a mask gloves use a paint stripper gel applied with a paint brush then use a paint scraper to remove then apply some sugar soap spray to remove any excess stripper gel then fill any holes with a wood filler then sand cabinet and clean off any dust then ready for painting.

its a playfield
So I have done a few crazy things with playfields including https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/bare-wood-em-playfield-repaint
For that one I sanded off the original; but use caution as the veneer is not thick. This is maybe not the best approach though as it is certainly more challenging to repaint without the original art work as a reference. As I mention in the thread, in hindsight I may not have done it that way. Probably the preferred approach is to seal the original artwork with clear coat and do a repaint on top.
Another approach (which I also did -- see https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/chicago-coin-pitch-bat-club#post-7182826) is to cut a new playfield using the old one as a reference.
Neither of these approaches is for the faint of heart!
