Is this print bed no longer any good?
I have been printing really small parts recently, 1cm by 1cm by 1cm on the Prusa i3 MK3S. I used a new print bed I bought last year but open just recently since my previous one was no longer in a usable condition.
I was able to print my parts successfully. The parts were really stuck on the print bed. I was able to get them off. Unfortunately, I think I ripped the coating off of it, attached images. I am using the steel sheet.
Is the print bed still good?
Can I still use it?
What should I do to prevent this from happening in the future?

Not just there

You can move prints around the bed to undamaged areas and with smaller objects you should be OK, Plus you have the other side.

As above, move the wear point around.
Cheerio,
RE: Is this print bed no longer any good?
I've used a plate with some boo-boos on it for smaller parts for over a year.
Eventually the good side of it got ruined as well, so I re-skinned both sides of it.
If you look at the image below you will see a few pulled-off areas to the rear and left of the print.
