You can get large diameter Dado & Planer router bits - it may be worth building a router sled and setting up to give the whole board a controlled depth skim cut.

It occurred to me another way to cut the surface back although it need be done carefully if you need retain a near flat surface.
Coarse sanding pads on an angle grinder. 24 grit will rip the surface back quite happily and with care you can still retain a reasonably flat surface. Once all blemishes are removed go to a 40 or 60 grit then a finer grit or a belt sander for finishing.

You can remove a serious amount of material with something like these ^^

Velcro discs could be a solution however spinning them at grinder speeds rather than at rotary orbital speeds doesn't much do it for me:

Alternatively flap wheels could be used however they clog faster than plain sanding discs:

If you need to remove a mm or more I'd suggest to use a hand plane.

Hand planing a mass of end grains is going to be a real pain though.

On the other hand, it makes for a great upper body and core workout, and will probably increase your grip strength at least 50%.  :)
