As far as I know, Niantic has never removed a paid medal, and only on very rare occasions has an earned medal been removed by request (e.g. NL1331 from the April Fool's event during COVID).
However, if you want to try your luck, go ahead and open a support ticket.

Which was also only because Niantic miscommunicated how you could get (and in turn, avoid) the medal tick. People that didn't want it made an action they thought was "safe" and still got the tick and made enough of a stink to get Niantic to remove it again.
