I planted a threadleaf maple tree years (decades!) ago. At a certain

threadleaf). I never did anything about it and it's way too late now.

So, just to educate myself, WAS there in fact any way to reverse
that root stock takeover, if caught early enough?

If so, how?

I would not think this is much different than a grafted rose. Remove
any new growth below the graft. Of course, it is better to check
this once or twice a year. If your grafted part is still alive, you
got a chance.
