Finally, after YEARS of trial and error failures, today I've made Thicket Beans palatable and not poisonous! I went whole hog, 24 hour soak with 2 changes of salty, alkaline water. Boiling in another change. Pressure cooking after. And then boiling AGAIN. Lastly stewing with some sauce as a faux baked beans. It's pretty good! The process could certainly be optimized but now I know it IS at least doable.
