I was burning a cone incense and left it on the sink, and this stain won't come off. I tried baking soda, water, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide. I tried letting them sit for multiple interations, and it made no difference.

Acrylic is plastic, you likely burned the plastic with hot ashes. You can try wet sanding it down using very fine grit sandpaper, followed by polishing, but YMMV.

rubbing alcohol might help but your probably going to have to buff it out with a Dremel

Would using super fine sandpaper be worth trying?

I'd start with cardboard, it's can give you clue if using the lightest sandpaper would work. you could probably use a clear finger nail polish to top it
