I have a multi tool which I got to remove the first tile, which led to this mess! I could do without dust where possible, maybe I just need to open the window and hang a sheet on the other side of the door to prevent a(nother) coating in the bedroom.
Point taken about the grinder, it’s what I feared really. The rubber layer is very annoying.

A grinder will almost certainly go through, but will fill the entire building with dust. Fouling the disc with sealant could lead to overheating and the disc breaking in a spectacular way - eye protection and a dust mask will be essential.
You might do better with an oscillating multi-tool and a grout removal blade to take out the first few tiles so a pry bar can be used to lever the rest off. I bought a cheap one for just this sort of thing and was surprised how useful it was - shaping tiles to go around pipework, making access points, and cutting out sections of rotten floorboard and splicing in a new section suddenly became straightforward.
