What is the best way of

Rent this, or something like it:

and use some dust extractor. Takes off the top mm or so, done.

You (most likely) won't need one with diamond bits, the hardened ninja stars
will be enough.

for removing paint from wood there are devices that are like
power planers but the 'knives' rotate in the same plane as the
device you have shown. The idea is to just scalp off the surface
without creating too much dust.
