Basically think of it like trying to multiply something by zero, with the number being the energy youre trying to introduce and the 0 being the thing that is frozen at absolute zero. No matter how much you try to add the AZ object will always reduce any energy that is introduced to zero.
Except that isn't how heat works. When you add energy to an object you use addition, not multiplication, and the resulting temperature is the average of that energy divided over all of the mass. Removing something from absolute zero should happen nigh-instantly, because of there's any introduction of energy at all it is no longer in that perfect zero energy state. Absolute Zero is just as hard to maintain as it is to reach, though the object in question has already lost all bonds down to an atomic scale, and is just a pile of near-AZ individually frozen particles, so it doesn't really matter if it loses the absolute zero state.
