With several of them the carpet has moved/shrunk, exposing a ragged
edge. I would like to replace the aluminium strips with wider ones to
compensate.

I've tried to gently lever one or two up but they seem very resistant.
The floor beneath is concrete to which the strips seem very firmly
fixed. Not having much idea how to remove and replace them I'd much
appreciate some advice.

It's fairly easy to make a hardwood threshold strip and then it could be
any size you want - they look much better than aluminium and can be
stained/varnished/oiled as required. I've been making mine out of
reclaimed oak skirting.
If you haven't got the tools a local woodworker would do it in a few
minutes.
That's a great idea. I really don't like the look of aluminium strips.
Most of my woodworking tools are now in Canada but I still have a
plane and a saw, so any rabetting for offset levels will be the tricky
bit.

If machining a rabbet is difficult then you could glue flat sections
together to make one ...
