I have an Elegoo Saturn with a factory original built plate.

The plate was improperly cleaned and then left out. Causing a thin but uneven layer of cured resin to form on one corner. This effectively makes it impossible to level as one corner will always be a fraction of a MM out.

What is the best way to clean the resin off wile maintaining the surface?

Removal of cured resin only works in mechanical ways, as the chemicals that can remove it are very aggressive and will eat at the base plate. Using a scraper or very sharp chisel to very carefully chip off the resin without scratching the surface is the standard solution.

If you damage the build plate, it can be re-ground, if you have food intact reference surfaces using a surface grinder.
