If you're smelling a strong odor then a respirator would be advised. You need one with an organic vapor cartridge. Surgical mask is doing nothing for you in this situation. Probably easier just to get some good ventilation going though. Or minimize you time around the printer.
I could open my garage door however I am worried about letting in sunlight and ruining and/or damaging the prints.
I will take a look for the respirator and cartridges you mentioned!
In addition to other suggestions, you could also set up a barrier (cardboard box) that would shade your printer from direct sunlight when the door is open.
You also don't need the door open fully. Just open a few inches and turn on a box fan.
That's exactly what I was doing when I used mine. Used the cardboard box the printer came in, and cracked the garage door with a fan pointed at the printer towards the door
You could also just let the print finish. Then open the door before you go out there to gather it. giving it a few minutes to vent. I have minimal experience with resin printing so I don't know how the sunlight would affect it. Putting the printer behind something to block the light seems reasonable as well.
Good luck. You can find these respirators on Amazon. 3m is a common brand.
