how can anyone survive even the tiniest drop of alien acid on

The chemical composition of the human body and steel are very different.

We similarly notice that hydroflouric acid eats through metal but not plastic.

There may be compounded or elements present in flesh that neutralize the melting effect.

that actually makes sense.

It's more to do with the fact that acid "melting" material is a chemical reaction. If the ingredients are tied up in molecules or barely present in the first place then it's harder for the reaction to happen

Solution to alien acid blood problem:

Water cannon

Dilute the acid such that it's no longer capable of dissolving steel, etc ,- when fighting aliens, always switch the sprinklers on first too. Then you can shoot them with gay abandon without worrying about air loss on your pressurised spaceship

And metals tend to be great sources of ions that will readily combine with whatever acid is in the alien blood to become salts. Human skin, not so much. If it gets inside the body, however, it can do a lot of damage from the inside if absorbed. Byproducts of the acidic reaction with an easily affected material could be harmful themselves as well.

Conversely, if the alien's blood was highly basic, it would be very harmful to us. But it would not be able to eat through metal nearly as well if at all.
