Use a hand sander and give it a good sanding. Can't tell from the pic but should be able to sand out most of the problem. How bad is the damage? Are they scratches or gouges? If so how deep?
It’s warped by about 3/8” from what I can tell from the side view. The bottom will have to be planed or sanded with a large belt sander and both coarse & fine grits.
Cover your countertop with newspaper taped down at the edges. Use 120 grit sandpaper squares and double stick it upside down to the newspaper as wide and long as the wood cover butting up the joints. Sand the top buy sliding it over the sand paper apply a little pressure. Eventually it will sand flat. I have used glass panes on a workbench and double stuck sandpaper upside down on the glass and sanded warped boards, warped wood cutting boards flat by moving them on the sandpaper.
It has been put over the stove when the stove was still warm and has dried the wood out over time! You need to immerse the top in water until it is saturated (not a quick thing to do) and then lay it flat and put weight on it evenly, and let it dry out properly before re-using!

Mist it with water, lay it on a flat surface, then lay something heavy on it, like stacked bricks.
I have the same problem. Were you able to fix it? If so, how?
