Pretty sure a decent resin printer has enough resolution for a record. Not sure about durability though.

I'm not sure how high the resolution is on resin printers, but the tip of a record stylus is maximum 0.001mm in diameter, here are the specs for records, it's some pretty small grooves with very fine detail you need for something that's passable.

In the 70s and 80s there were kids toys which played injection moulded plastic discs with a stylus that tracked the groove. I think you might be able to achieve something similar out of a printed record if it was spun fast enough but it wouldn't sound great.
