Sterilising tablets get rid of tea stains from cups so it would probably work on you top too. They are almost effectivley sort of (don't hold me liable if I'm wrong because I've seen this argument already;) ) really watered down thin bleach so
1. try a bit of you top you can't see to well first and
2. if you haven't got sterilising tablets you could ty watering down some thin bleach.When life hands you a lemon, make sure you ask for tequilla and salt

I take it you've tried bological washing powder?
I use it to get rid of tea stains in mugs. Don't put the cups in the washing machine though.

I soaked in a very mild bleach solution (1/4pt bleach to 20 gals of water) for three hrs. The stain has gone and the fabirc unfaded.Life's a beach!
