I use the mustache trimmer on seams, but don't have much luck with it on a quilt sandwich because it fuzzes the batting. The stitch eraser is designed to cut stitches on the surface. I haven't tried that, but there is a video I've seen demonstrating how it works on embroidery stitches. I am not convinced enough to pay the price.
I'm a veteran of lots of stitching boo-boos, and about the only thing that really helps me is wearing Mag-Eyes with the highest magnification I was able to find and be sure to have good lighting. (An Ott light with the magnifier attached would probably be better.) It might say more about my vision than otherwise, but being able to see precisely makes me more efficient and less likely to cut the fabric. I cut about every 3-4 stitches, fewer if there are sharp turns. Then I use tweezers to help yank the tread on the back.
You are looking at many hours of work, whatever method you use. My heart goes out to you!
