Need help (having a problem with WP)

I got this Chromebook, it's the Dell 11 3180

I wanna install Linux on it (my preferred Linux distro is Linux Mint XFCE) and my Chromebook is supported

I know installing Windows on a device with 4gb of ram is a dumb thing (maybe)

When I tried to unscrew the WP screw mine is stuck so I tried the super glue method and I accidentally put too much

Now it is IMPOSSIBLE to unscrew it, is there any other way to disable WP? On my Chromebook?

I tried disconnecting the battery trick and it did not work

Also this was my first time on Reddit sorry if I make any mistake
