Thinning the top or/and bracing of soprano?

So I have this Stagg US60S that has very thick bracing of the top. It also has some purfling around the top and back of a simple white plastics. If I can remove the top and adjust the bracing of the top, will I get it to sound better?
Probably not worth it, but I wonder what I eventually could achieve...

You need to be careful removing the paint, it is safe when it is dry and set on the wood, but if you turn it into fine particles by sanding it can be dangerous for your lungs.
With winter looming, it could keep you out of trouble until the sun comes back.

Probably,certainly when it comes to a thickness of the colour as the Mahalos seem to have.
I actually have a laminate Mahalo pineapple but dont want to alter it.
I figured this about the Stagg just because it has got such a heavy bracing that seems slightly exaggerated. Not only is the bracing heavy, the braces are ended badly too. It seems that they are abruptly ended, or very thick at the ends. If this, only make the bracing thinner, not the top. Just wondering if this could be worth the trouble?
It plays well, has a spruce top, but the bass is very very thin as well as the tone too.
The matter is how to remove the back without making marks.
(I watched quite a few movies about neck resets and similar jobs.)

Well, then gotta remove the White plastic binding first. Probably set there with epoxy.(?)
Anybody knows how the outer binding is attached on these, please?
(And there is some risk involved in the attempt of this óperation´.)
