Yes, you can. I've had experience using stripping solvent and then using a sander to take off the rest of the paint I could not remove. It is advisable to use a mask when you do this as the dust really flies! The size of the one you use would depend upon what you're sanding. I found a small palm sander for a small strip on the porch and then am going to rent an orbit sander for a larger area.
