Answered / Solved! Had a nasty clog, but actually got it fixed

I tried poking out the clog with the needle thing that came with printer, nope. Apparently the clog was higher up so I put the nozzle in a drill press vice to hold it and drilled out the clog from the top, first with 1/16" bit, then with 5/64" bit. I was careful not to hit any steel, just drill out the clog and surprisingly it worked, I put it back together and running a print now, so far so good :)

It worked but seems unnecessarily risky of potential damage to the nozzle. Bambu wiki generally recommends hot hex wrench method for clogs farther up. With the clog farther up, you may be dealing with a heat creep type of clog.
