I would leave it alone.  The tape does not detract from the autograph very much.  It is similar to a check that may have a stamp touching part of the signature.

The only thing I can think of is to put the page in a freezer as this will make the glue of the tape brittle and it will come off easier. But please try it on a less valueable piece first and also the glue will probably stay on the paper. It is try and error on this one.
