If you scratch through the paltinum, your acid can dissolve the metal that the platinum is plated to, depending on your acid and the metal. Also, platinum is not inert. A strong enough acid will dissolve it. Platinum catalysts are used in chemistry all of the time.

u can t use any acid against platinum because it is inert metal and do not reacts with acids platinum is removed by reversing the process of electroplating that is putting the pure platinum metal as cathode and the plated as the anode

Using an acid, you really can't, platinum is so inert it won't react with much of anything, including acids.

Aqua regia, a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acid, will dissolve gold and probably platinum as well.

can't. Pt is inert so it won't react. you can play with electrochem, but it's gonna be an uphill battle
