Yes there was a groove in the carpet here when we moved in. obviously back
in the day somebody had used an inappropriate tool theo make the door fit
after it had been painted with one too many layers of gloss.

So wondering if a belt sander would be appropriate for taking a couple of
mm off here and there?

Do you already have a belt sander? Not sure I would get one especially for
that job (unless, say, I had plenty of other flat things to sand). An
angle grinder with sanding disk attachment is in general a more useful
tool IMHO. They can remove a lot of material quickly which can be a good
thing or a bad thing. Once you have the knack, you can do quite delicate
adjustments with them.

If you need to take significant material off over the whole length, it is
far better to bite the bullet and remove the door. If you don't want to
use a manual plane, power planers are not too expensive and don't need too
much skill. Just don't put them down until they have stopped, and keep
fingers well clear of the blades! Forget circular saws unless you are
experienced, and forget jigsaws altogether.
