Suggestions on removal of teak trim

Catalina Capri 18 Indian Lake, Ohio
Looking for suggestions on how to remove the wood teak trim around the companion way on our 1989 Capri 18. The teak is quite worn which will require removal and sanding to restore. There appears to be wood screws covered over with wooden plugs. Do I drill out the plugs to expose the screw heads. Is there adhesive securing the trim pieces?

Photos attached.

That's not so bad that it couldn't be refinished in-place - avoid removing unless necessary, kind of a pain. There are screws under the bungs (plugs) - drill a small hole in the center and drive a screw into the plug, should pop it out. Don't damage the edges. May be some sealant underneath but not likely. Still, leave it in-place.
