you said Switch it to 5A and wave a strong magnet near it to see if if goes down towards zero (try both poles of the magnet).When it's near zero, switch to 2A and repeat.
i did, i get a perfect 0.000, then I switch to 2A and it is close to 0 too, but doing it forever I think wont solve the offset at all.

At least you confirmed what the problem is.

If I were you I would just make a coil with a bunch of nails and a long piece of thin wire. You can energize it with a transformer, dont use mains voltage. You dont need a super lot of power and indeed, less is more in this situation. You'll likely not need a degausser that often.
You dont want to damage the UT210e

Obviously no want wants to damaged any of their equipment. I suspect you meant damage it from something to do with magnetizing the head or degaussing it. Care to explain?
As far as what's required, I was using about 600 gauss peak with a half second decay.
Electro Detective:
Would an old school hand held tape head demagnetizer do the same trick ?
I would assume to switch it on first from a distance,
gradually approach the clamp area,
give it a slow magic wand job pass or two
and back off slowly, then switch it off when far far away,
say 2 or 3 meters ? :-//

Very likely.
