Whoever put the poly on our kitchen floor left some thickened
"puddles" near some of the thresholds.

Poly is oil-based sating.

What can I do to fix the puddles without ruining or redoing the entire
floor?

The lack of answers probably echos my initial reaction, there's no good
way. Maybe you can sand the puddle off and try to feather it out, then
recoat. Personally I'd do throw rugs.

Shave it down with a sharp cabinet scraper.
