Tung Oil, Mishap

Someone had heard that they could refinish their piano with Tung oil.

Instead of using 0000 steel wool, a few times, with a rubout and dry, between coats, which does give a quite nice finish.

They did three coats, but used a brush, and didn't rub out between coats. The result is a thick non smooth finish.

What is the best way out of this, to end up as it should have been?

What can be used as a stripper? 

I was thinking strip, then use the 0000 steel wool, as should have been done initially.
