ImageMagick - how to clean captcha?

I'm trying to use ImageMagick to clean a type of captcha so that I can use OCR on it. This is the captcha:

I get this:



There's 2 problems with it.

One is that the image is still not good enough to be read by Tesseract/OCR. I guess all the dots and the lines are messing it up, plus the letters are kinda blurry.

Can this be cleaned up better/smoother/sharper?

I cleaned it up, using Paint like a true professional. Still nothing:



I cleaned it up a bit more. Going deep cleaning within the letters with the eraser, even with the pencil. And this one worked!



So now I just need ImageMagick to take my original image and convert it into something that looks like the last image I shared.

Come on guys, help a brother out. If you don't I'll leave this forum forever! @xReminisce @Willyfish
