I like all these suggestions. Instead of insetting a tile, you could set in a cutting board, which could be turned over "for next time". (I put an opaque glass cutting board over a similar spot).
I've used household bleach with mixed results: Start with a dilute 1:4 solution, allow to dry, and work towards more (1:3, 1:2) concentrated solutions.
A belt sander could make short work of refinishing the entire counter, followed by finishing sandings. (A portable wood planer might be the answer if the damage is deeper than perceived --
Harbor Freight sells one, or you could
rent either locally).
