If it's Melamine - then no, it's stuffed.

If it's wood then use a belt sander.

You've got nothing to lose but I don't like your chances of it looking good. If it's a busy granite type pattern you may just get away with it.

Fiting a new laminated chipboard worktop is surprisingly cheap and easy, if it's got square-cut ends and joins the shed can cut it to size for you, you can use the old one as template for the sink and any out-of-square walls or pipes.
