It doesn't matter how intense the strike was. The metal can only hold a
certain magnetic flux. If you exceed the metals maximum flux then the
degausser will work. The TV degausser was designed to degause iron and
steel, and so it can exceed the maximum magnetic flux of steel. It should
work fine. You can also use an AC motor as a degausser, and a small compass
as a field detector.

The Navy still has a number of degaussing stations in operation. If you can
just convince them to let you park your plane on the deck...

I strongly doubt a tape degausser will do you much good.
Likewise a color-TV coil.

You need a lot of field strength to clean [really, re-randomize..]
structual steel. You also need to be able to get that field where
it's needed.

Tapes and TV sets are orders of magnitude more subtle than the
results of a strike.

But feel free to try; just get the compasses well away before you
start.
