Strip: Uneven seam between strips

Gents,

I had a "seam" between two strips slip while gluing where the edges still touch but one strip is a little higher than the other. Unfortunately, it has also glued pretty solidly into that position. I suppose I could plane it down and add "backup wood" to the rear of the strip prior to glassing, or I could try to remove the strip and try to fix it that way. Is there a particular rule of thumb when it comes to "leave it/plane it/remove it/ignore it" for errant strips?

Thanks
