Should I remove unnecessary work experience before getting my Express entry Invite?

I recently received a PNP nomination through Express Entry and now have the additional 600 CRS points.

My spouse’s Canadian and foreign work experience is currently listed in the Express Entry profile. I also have more than five years of previous foreign work experience.

Since I may not need all of this experience for points or eligibility, I’m thinking of removing the unnecessary jobs from the work history section to make the PR application simpler and avoid providing extra employment documents. I would still mention everything properly in the personal history section.

Should I remove these jobs now, before receiving the ITA?

Or can I leave them in the profile, receive the ITA, and then move the unnecessary experience to personal history while explaining that I am not claiming points for it?

Would making this change before or after the ITA cause any issue if my CRS score remains above the cut-off and all employment is fully disclosed?

Has anyone been in a similar situation?
