Use a filter to comment it out:



#+OPTIONS: title:nil toc:nil
#+BIND: org-export-filter-final-output-functions (comment-out-title-line)

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports results :results none
   (defun comment-out-title-line (doc &optional bk info)
     (replace-regexp-in-string "\\\\title" "%% \\title" doc nil t ))
   (setq-local org-export-allow-bind-keywords t)
#+END_SRC
