I have a row of 35 year old spruce trees on the north side of my garden. When we planted tiny saplings years ago, they were so far away from the garden spot that I never imagined the roots growing into my garden area. The trees are too beautiful to cut down, but I have to hack out roots every spring (and fall, if I have the time.) The trees do not suffer for it in any way, the roots just keep growing back. They are far from the trunk, and in any case, have roots going out other directions as well. If I were you, I would cut them out and not worry about it.
