I too would say strip it down. get a few potato forks, and a dumpster and have at it with a few buddies.
Make sure to replace all the flashing and drip edge and new felt.
In 1999, I helped a company do the roof on my house that I had in IL, it had a fairly large and steep roof. we stripped 4 layers of shingles (the bottom one was the original 100+ year old cedar shake shingles) we then had to completely redeck the roof. I helped strip the old roof off and that saved me 400 bucks off the labor cost. I can't remember what the actual size of the roof was I am thinking it was 20 squares, but have slept since then the cost after the labor deduction was $4000. This was just replacing with 25 year 3 tab shingles.
Last year I had someone tear off and reroof the house that I bought last year here in IN, that was part of a 203k loan rehab but they quoted $4500 for the roof, and I have the 30 year architectural shingles. This roof was a much less steep than the house in IL and much smaller as well.
