I have done cabinets where I decided to remove the ribs of the speaker gill on consoles where it was a simple as removing some screws and loosening small dabs of glue. They turned out pretty well and I didn't have to scrape out all the nooks and crannies when stripping. Whats the general consensus on doing that?

To each his own? or am I courting some sort of disaster when I do that? I have a 37-650 I'm planning on starting to strip tonight and am considering removing the speaker ribs/bars....

Test it on one bar, if you undo the screws and it doesn't come off with light finger pressure don't force it.

Yes, remove the bars and refinish separate.
