Talk to the problem player away-from-table, to seek out a resolution.
Here is another thought: talk to the other players. Find out if they are upset, willing to tolerate, &c.
Suggest that you as DM can set up a situation where the group WILL kick in the front door, rather than make elaborate plans, as a chance to give this other player what he seems to want.
If they go for it, carry the plan through. Afterwards privately ask the problem player what he thought of the night's play. At a subsequent date you can gather the group and discuss together. I hope that this one guy will chill out a bit if he realizes that the group is willing to 'take turns' on play style.
If the issue is fully aired and work-together proposals offered but refused (in the form of an argument or in the form of in-play disruption) THEN you may have to let the individual go.
