Title: Removing veneer?

Want to refinish a night table. It has a veneer coating which has cracked and chipped. I'd like to get it off.
Any suggestions,

The wood under the veneer is called secondary wood---you will need to replace the veneer is you remove it.
And removing it---the veneer has been glued on---is most easily done by sanding it off. That will be prohibitively expensive in sandpaper and mess.
