Pinus thunbergiana is more commonly called pinus thunbergii these days, either one lets folk know what you are talking about. Now is a good time for root pruning, and you may take more than 50% of the roots off, but don't do anything until you can get some more specific advice.
Can you do what I asked you to do earlier? Brush off all the chips, mulch, etc., and take a few pics of the root base and about six inches of the base of the tree, from different directions?
Also, is there a club near you? You would benefit from some hands-on help which we can't give over the interwebs.
