I am afraid not. The best way would be to strip the whole thing and get it back to natural wood (if that's the finish you desire). After stripping, light sanding it is recommended. Once the oak trim is bare, wipe it clean with thinner on a rag and paint/varnish. Old homes usually have unique trimming which replacement is not easy to find and/or very expensive to do so. Have some patience and do small sections at a time, a varnished oak trim is beautiful and will be rewarding to look at once you're done.

Answer

Try lightly sanding the drip(s) to see if it is time effective to go this route.

How to remove weather stripping?

There are a variety of weather stripping types, but with the old foam type you can just tear out the old stripping before you install the new stripping.
