By far the best solution is to remove it, turn it upside down, and cut it
with a sharp circular saw starting from the rolled edge.

Just as an aside, I cut a 38mm worktop today. It was a 3m length and I
needed something shorter. As the worktop was soooooo heavy (it took
two to lift it) I did a rough cut with a circular saw a few inches
longer than I needed, knowing that the laminate would chip.

Surprisingly the laminate did not chip - and I did cut from the
laminate side.

Not something I would plan to do normally (cut from the laminate side
I mean), but it just proves that cutting from the laminate side need
not necessarily result in a chipped cut.
