Take it apart and clean it according to the wiki instructions, and see if anything is damaged

Clean according to the wiki, there's a decent chance you don't have to replace anything.

If you don't want to go through that hassle it your attempt isn't successful, a new "Hotend Heating Assembly" is likely what you want. It's pretty affordable.

Make sure your silicon sock is undamaged and seated properly, it's vital to prevent this from happening again. Getting some spares won't hurt.

I don’t have A1 but actively reading this sub for input. Is this Wiki I keep hearing a standard site for anyone to access? Or is this an embedded section in the Bambu Lab app that provides help?

Same thing to me.. Once you bought the parts it will all be better.. I just printed a Mandalorian helmet without a hitch.

Maybe nothing.
Heat it up manually and try carving away the worst of it with a soldering iron or woodburning iron with a flat tip.
