If its the non stick itself then you are stuffed.

IME nothing takes hard carbon off anything except abrasion.

Which is why I do not use non stick pans any more..the average life is
about 1 week. Until they get crapped up beyond the power to remove the
crap without destroying the non stick.

Nothing removes it completely, but it is possible to remove some of it
IME. When non-stick comes out of the dishwasher still hot, the crud is
softened, and careful scraping with a fingernail slowly removes it -
too slowly to remove a lot each time. I've not found any other type of
scraper works.

Leave the pan in soak for an hour. The lifespan of ours is 5 years
