Ah, gotcha. Probably would require a lot of hard wook and solvents then.
I refinished my oak stairs a while back and the carpet runner had been stuck down with some kind of black adhesive. I hand-scraped it all off, then finished with a belt sander. I swear if I had to do it again, I'd just buy new treads - far less hassle. Sometimes you need to know when to fight and when to run. 
Or you could rent one of these bad boys -
