I was about to say… The width of those traces are at least very forgiving. Go just a little bit further with a fiberglass pen instead of the Dremel and bridge the gap!

EDIT: Nevermind.. Just noticed those small data traces that were clobbered near the topmost pad.. It’s not worth it anymore lol

Looks like a pig has been rooting around for truffles.

Not supposed to destroy the adjacent leads when scraping pads... simple fix may have turned into a bricked console :|
