Victorian door sill cover

Not sure which forum to post this in - it's about a door sill but it's not the wood bit that's the problem...
My front door sill has a metal sheet folded over it and embedded behind the tiles on the inside and into / behind the front step on the outside.
The sheet is torn and jagged. I'm going to retile the inside soon, which seems like a good opportunity to replace it. But does anyone know how much of a mess it's going to make to the outside to get it out? Is it even feasible without messing up the outdoor tiling too? I do have a longer term plan to sort out the front path and step but it would be a pain if I had to do that simultaneously with the indoor tiling just because of one bit of metal.
Separately, is this kind of metal sheet normal on Victorian terraced houses? Should I be doing a like for like replacement or is there another option I should consider? I just never look at other peoples' thresholds and I haven't been into anyone else's house in over a year so I'm clueless about this.
