How to remove a style from an image?

Having (with the help given here by you) understood how to undo the application of a style, I now see that this wasn’t the right question! I should have asked how to reduce or moderate the effect of a style - or is it either on or off? Going into the history stack and altering the opacity on each of the modules seems to me to corrupt the style (as well as being more work than sliding one mythical slider to control the effect of the style).
