That tape can cut like a razor too so you might get a little blood into the finish. They do make a special cutter for the purpose, I don't have one though but a small jack plane over on an angle can also help speed trimming then a little finish with sand paper. I also often use a sharp but fairly wide chisel gliding along on an angle with the flat back against the wood sort of sheering off the excess tape rather than trying to cut it. A knife because of the double bevel on the blade tends to pull toward the wood surface and, as you have already discovered, gouge the surface. Better to leave it just a very little proud then take it down with sanding.
