A non-trivial finitely generated pro-p group G is said to be strongly hereditarily self-similar of index p if every non-trivial finitely generated closed subgroup of G admits a faithful self-similar action on a p-ary tree. We classify the solvable torsion-free p-adic analytic pro-p groups of dimension less than p that are strongly hereditarily self-similar of index p. Moreover, we show that a solvable torsion-free p-adic analytic pro-p group of dimension less than p is strongly hereditarily self-similar of index p if and only if it is isomorphic to the maximal pro-p Galois group of some field that contains a primitive pth root of unity. As a key step for the proof of the above results, we classify the 3-dimensional solvable torsion-free p-adic analytic pro-p groups that admit a faithful self-similar action on a p-ary tree, completing the classification of the 3-dimensional torsion-free p-adic analytic pro-p groups that admit such actions.
