The same way as data?

map-logical to find the location of a mirror, write 4 bytes of zero into
the location, then call it a day.

Although for metadata, you may want to choose a metadata that would
definitely get read.
Thus tree root is a good candidate.

And how do I find out the logic address of the tree root?

For tree root, "btrfs ins dump-super <dev> | grep '^root\s'.

For other tree blocks, "btrfs ins dump-tree <dev>" then with other other
keywords to grab.
