Do you have a source for Mitsuya Ito as the romanization for 伊藤ミツヤ?

you mean Ito, why not Itou or Itoh? (is it the sense of your question? because there is no 36 ways to romanize it)
without official romanization, Itou could be used as default reading (since it's the way to write it wholly)

I mostly ask the question because CHz left it as 伊藤 when he submitted, so I figured the romanization must have been more in question than just Ito vs Itou.

It shows up in searches, but that's about it. I think sometimes we've put a real name there when the display name was an alias.

In any case, it's Ito. His real name is Takashi Ito: https://www.facebook.com/takashi.ito.90857

Also, isn't his alias romanized wrong? Now that I look at it, shouldn't it be Sandai Guitar Tamashii?

Definitely not. I remember finding a bunch of really wrong romanizations on there.
