I cut out a door in an old apartment I was renovating with a large 240 flex. It was a not load bearing wall, but I don't think that makes any difference. I handled it relatively cleanly with 2 measures.
1. I suspended the work area from the ceiling with 300m foil, which is nice, heavy, and stable.
2.A helper stood next to me with a large vacuum cleaner and vacuumed right at the flex. Of course it was a little dusty, but it was surprisingly humane.
As for floor damage, I would take thick paint fleece, 25mm osb board and a 20mm beam and spread the weight over a large area like you suggested, I think it should work.
