A simple way in

A cleaner backing track for singing, rehearsal, and covers when you want the song to stay familiar but the lead vocal to step aside.

Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.

Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.
