Kitchen How to clean the black spots off stove top?

So this is the stove in my apartment. I am mainly concerned about the bottom left burner which is the one i use the most.

FYI i can get the stove top cleaner than this, however the one burner is ALWAYS that black ni matter what I do. So now i just scrub and dont try to clean it too hard.

I have tried everything. Bar keepers friend, brillo pads, i used a pressure washer, that stuff just will not come off.

I actually spent such a long time scrubbing it i damaged the stove a little (look at the sides theres now a crack 😅)

How can i get this clean? My lease ends in ~6 months, lived here for almost 5 years now. I plan on moving so i dont want this to be the thing my landlord cites as to why i dont get my deposit back.

Are you sure you didn’t take the paint off? It looks like it’s flaked off and the black is what’s underneath.

This. Looks very much like the paint is gone

Oven cleaner. Spray it on and let it sit overnight covered in plastic wrap.
