In this case I used the 'magic Eraser Tool'.

This method is best used when there's a crisp separation between the color to remove and the other colors.

If you want to remove only a part tick Contiguous.

If you want to remove all that specific color untick Contiguous.

Set the tolerance somewhere between 32 and 64.

I wanted to point out that there is another approach to consider that might bypass the pixelation (which might be as simple as anti-alias not being turned on)

Since you have provided the PSD file, here is an approach that you can take

- Turn off the Final 2 Layer and turn on and expand the Raw 2 group
- Turn the Background Layer into a Regular Layer and turn off its visibility
- On the compass Layer, convert the Layers effects to Layers by right click int he Layer panel panel on the Layers effect icon and choose "Create Layers"
- One of the Layers created is the "Compass's Outer Stroke". Highlight this Layer and turn the transparency into a Layer Mask with Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency
- With that mask selected, use Cmd + I (Ctrl + I for PCs) to invert the mask
- Drag that mask down to the Anchor Layer
- Turn off visibility of Compass's Outer Stroke Layer

I think this achieves your objective. No selections required as the masking was achieved with already existing information from the stroke of the Layer Effects

Hope this alternate approach is worth considering
