Invalid externalObjectId

I have come across an issue where I have invalid SSO users listed in the Administrators group that causes "A vCenter Single Sign-On Service error occured" and I need to find a way to remove these stale users from the Administrators group

/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/dir-cli group list --name 'Administrators'

Enter password for administrator@vsphere.local:

cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=vsphere,dc=local

CN=machine-eff691c0-6076-430f-9767-a187a117e387,CN=ServicePrincipals,DC=vsphere,DC=local

CN=vsphere-webclient-eff691c0-6076-430f-9767-a187a117e387,CN=ServicePrincipals,DC=vsphere,DC=local

externalObjectId=S-1-5-21-1271409858-1095883707-2794662393-94424866

externalObjectId=S-1-5-21-1271409858-1095883707-2794662393-1094482

externalObjectId=S-1-5-21-1271409858-1095883707-2794662393-5099061

externalObjectId=S-1-5-21-1271409858-1095883707-2794662393-91825835

externalObjectId=S-1-5-21-1271409858-1095883707-2794662393-26371790

externalObjectId=S-1-5-21-1271409858-1095883707-2794662393-556046

Anyone know a way to manually force the removal of these SSO items?
