Are you sure this is really a problem? Can you reproduce it on some scrap and use that for a test? The test is to apply the color you want to apply, just ignoring the staining. Or, if you do not plan to dye or stain, then just apply whatever finish you want. Even without dye or stain, many finishes change the color slightly. The end result has a good chance of looking perfectly fine.
Lemon juice removes stains from hands after working with oak. I’ve never tried it on the oak itself, though.
