There may not be any way out, depending on how much and how long it has been stained, the stain is designed to be sucked in the wood, unlike a paint, There is not going to be an easy way out I dont believe. you can check a corner of the room where it is hidden and try to sand it and see where it starts to show its true color, but like has been stated is it dark wood to begin with and then stained darker? as far as bleaching I would be hesitant, it could do more harm than good,some woods dont take to it, and lots of times i t wont be a uniform outcome,,bleaching works ok on small projects where you are trying to make it a shade lighter but not really taking stain off,, also is the paneling boards smooth or grained\textured as in rough cut? if they are textured you can forget about wiping anything on the grain will rip your applicator,,if it is something you truly want to change, you may have to as stated take it down plane\sand {sanding would take forever},or try flipping over,,they also sell a sort of paint lite stain that lets you see the grain through the paint.but it is painting it it will change the color {many to choose from}but you will see the grain through it,, but you should check a little on a hidden spot to see what color the dark stain will make it , good luck,, wood is my other passion after tractors, or side by side ,pat
