Hi Evan and Jamie,
When I use the find and replace, I select the entire line containing the
header, including white space, except the page number if that line
contains page numbers, and put that into the find box of the find and
replace dialogue. There is almost always white space either in or around
the header that prevents regular text as part of the story in the book
from being removed, because that white space won't be in the book
anywhere except in the headers.
And case sensitivity enabling makes a HUGE difference.
You can select an entire line by placing your cursor where you want it
either be fore or after the page number, depending whether the page
number is on the left or right end of the line and either pressing shift
plus home to select to the beginning of the line, or shift plus end to
select to the end of the line.

Thanks, Jamie. I have suggested this before. Oftentimes, there is a tab
after the header and before the page number on the right page, and a tab
before the header and after the page number on the left page. I have used
this technique of removing headers with their associated tabs to
eliminate thousands of headers without fear of removing text that I shouldn't.
It is also true, as you say, that search and replace should always be
used with care.

Lots of times there is a tab after the header. If you search for the
text plus a tab you might have better luck in doing a global replace,
but I recommend using a global replace very carefully.
For example if it is The Catcher in the Rye that is the header look for
The Catcher in the Rye^t (^t is the tab symbol in Word 2003).
