This one is indeed not easy, because of the dithering. I think you best bet is to rebuild the image over the text:

• Duplicate your layer
• select a square of pure dithering (no line art) as large as possible
• copy to clipboard
• in your pattern selection, use the first pattern in the list (a.k.a "clipboard"): this must be your dithering.
• test it: create a new image on the side (about 10x your dithering pattern) and bucket-fill it with the pattern. You'll likely see very a very visible periodic pattern. Crop your pattern by one pixel and do it again, until you get rid of both vertical and horizontal lines.
• in the original image, use the freehand select tool to delineate the area with text and with the same dithering. Feather the selection by 2 or 3 pixels
• bucket-fill the selection with the pattern: the text is gone, but so are the lines...
• add a new transparent layer
• Make the corrected layer invisible, so that what you see below the new layer is the original version
• You can now draw replacement lines on the new layer, by following the lines in the original layer (you'll of course have to invent some). Use a slightly fuzzy brush. If you have a tablet, things are going to be a lot easier...
• admire your work by toggling the visibility of the original layer and the re-dithered one.
  

If you are going to fix several images, you will create a collection of dithering patters that can be reused (you can save Patterns)
