All things in moderation. A heavy soaking with lacquer thinner on fresh varnish can take it off, definitely.

Lacquer thinner is at its best in cleaning up epoxied surfaces before the first coat of varnish. Back when more people were using blushing epoxies and other terrors, lacquer thinner was our standard prescription to get a clean surface. Between coats of varnish it's stronger than you need.
