It’s called an action to quiet title. I’ve done dozens. Clouded title can be cleared quite easily by anyone with good claim. Most actions go to default judgment because no one files an answer. Poof! Cloud gone.

Not to belabor the point but the cost of an action to quiet title costs the home owner money and I suspect more than a few title companies would shy away from insuring the lien risk until such action is successful. These things take time and the home owner is severely inconvenienced during the process. Especially if they have to sell quickly... just some thoughts.

Your strategy also assumes a default judgment is available in a lien case. Not all states make it easy to extinguish liens on real estate without someone showing up on the other side.
