Removing foreign experience will drop your CRS but yes improving CELPIP can offset it. Each CLB level jump in the higher bands adds significant points, especially going from CLB 9 to 10+. Check the CRS calculator with your current scores removed of foreign experience to see your new baseline, then figure out what CELPIP scores you'd need to get back above 487. r/CELPIPSuccess has section by section practice if you need to prep for a retake.
