Hi Max, Mostly you shouldn't need much more than hand sanding on a veneered plywood. Getting rid of excess glue may want a little more work but knock off as much as you can first with something like a paint scraper or, with great care a good sharp chisel.
You can probably start with about 120 grit paper over a block that is probably enough unless you have raised a lot of grain with water. What sort of wood is the surface? I know that you once said, birch I think but I forget.
