Possibly. The thing about ripping into the paint in that area is that you’re going to cover it with a vinyl top again so even if you just epoxy primer and then put the vinyl top down that would be fine. I would look around under the car around the door pillars under the quarter panels and see if you can find any other spots that are bubbling. If you do start small and work in the specific area. If you find that things are spreading out then I would look further into what you discussed doing.
