Yeah a 600 will do the job fine. You don't even need to go to an auto store you can just get it at home depot.
I want to suggest starting with a hammer, preferably of the ball peen variety, but I don't really think that's going to work in this particular situation.
Guess it all depends on how dark the wood grain color is. If it's dark brown I would start with a 400 grit then 600 grit and 800 grit. If the finish is removed to your liking I would finish it with 1000 grit. I know there's a lot of different numbers of sandpaper that I use but again it depends how dark the wood grain finish it.
I've heard of this for cleaning the internal works, but never for removing stain. Have to give that a try tonight on a particularly frustrating rusticated finish Chacom I'm working on, see if it helps. Poor pipe has spent too many an evening in alcohol trying to get into the crannies.
