Using a release oil or a degreaser can sometimes help to soften the remains. If you have scratched it slightly i wouldnt worry, just go over it with a fine emery and neaten it up best you can, it shouldn’t harm it. (As long as you havent created niagara falls that is [emoji15])

Gently nudge it away with a scraper, try not to score up the surface, then any remaining just scrat away with a very fine emery, nice and steady is the key, patience. Blow main of it off with brake cleaner then finish off with compressed air.

You still got original carb? Strip it and put it through a ultrasonic cleaner, blow it out again afterwards and fit a new carb kit to it, forget the chinese stuff, theyre only really a substitute for fresh on a diy/homeowner saw, pro saws want original pro parts.

I had the same, gave my tree away this year, didnt really have the space for it anyhow sadly [emoji17]

“If” lube was used, i.e a heavy grease or copper application, then “potentially” it could have led to the bolts becoming not fully tight, which in turn could of allowed movement in the blades mountings, altering their chipping angle, that in turn could of made the blade want to bite off more than it could chew, resulting in the stress/impact/vibration/point of digging in, causing the blade to shear. “If” this was the case then the likeliest place of fracture/breakage in my mind would be from around the counter sunk bolt holes, the thinnest and weakest area of the blades. Thats a theory but not defo the cause, as others have stated, it could just have been a simple flaw in the making or tempering of the blades? I just posted the torque scenario including lubes cos it was a real jaw dropper for me when i attended the course and its always stuck in my mind when doing things.

Cant comment on the look/blend towards the rest of the house cos not seen rest of it, it may well blend spot on with the rest of its surroundings, like with the windows in the pic etc. Defo agree with others though, wouldnt be able to design/manufacture/build/install/buy that staircase for £2k with all processes and man hours required to achieve. Sorry Les your on a loser with that one.
