2 Set begin problems: sequence and strip_date

Most series work fine setting the beginning episode via a next episodes task using trakt watched status, but 3 of my 41 series do not. For example the series Mom:

2017-07-17 10:07 VERBOSE  task  sync-trakt-nextep ACCEPTED: `Mom S04E09` by accept_all plugin
2017-07-17 10:07 ERROR    set_series_begin sync-trakt-nextep An error occurred trying to set begin for Mom: `begin` value `S04E09` does not match identifier type for identified_by `sequence`
2017-07-17 10:07 INFO     set_series_begin sync-trakt-nextep First episode for "Mom" set to S04E09
2017-07-17 10:07 VERBOSE  next_series_episodes download-series-discover Series `Mom` has no history. Set begin option, or use CLI `series begin` subcommand to set first episode to emit

Of my 41 series, only 3 fail just like Mom. I have no clue why?

The second type of series fail and I do understand why, but I do not know how to solve it!
These are series that require "title (year)" in the name. Otherwise Discover/Search will complain about beginning has not been set for "The Librarians (2014).

2017-07-17 10:07 VERBOSE  task  sync-trakt-nextep ACCEPTED: `The Librarians S03E06` by accept_all plugin
2017-07-17 10:07 INFO     set_series_begin sync-trakt-nextep First episode for "The Librarians" set to S03E06
2017-07-17 10:07 VERBOSE  next_series_episodes download-series-discover Series `The Librarians (2014)` has no history. Set begin option, or use CLI `series begin` subcommand to set first episode to emit

How can Flexget distinguish series that require (year) versus series that do not require year, and set begin for those without stripping the date? Because if I remove strip_date from my setbegin task, then all other series will have a similar issue, since discover will search for NCIS (without set begin) instead of NCIS (2003) (with set begin).
