You could swap mandoc’s stderr and stdout, then filter it with sed and
redirect sed to stderr:

        mandoc -W <level> 3>&2 2>&1 1>&3 | sed '/reg/ex/d' >&2

Of course if mandoc also normally writes to stdout this would create new
stuff on stderr, so you could run it in two-passes:

        # pass where we care about mandoc’s regular output
        mandoc 2>/dev/null
        # pass where we care about mandoc’s errors
        mandoc -W <level> 2>&1 >/dev/null | sed '/reg/ex/d' >&2
