AD5X Eating Nozzles

I have been hitting 'No' on update. I've had the machine for a month or two. Running Geeetech PETG. First 6kg ran alright. Two days ago, my nozzle was clogged with filament broken inside the upper heat sink part of nozzle. I tried a cold pull with no luck, then a torch. No dice. Replaced nozzle. 2 days later, exact same thing with the new nozzle. I see several options.

  1. Replace the whole extruder head assembly and the Bowden tubes.

  2. Buy a bunch if nozzles and keep replacing them every couple days.

  3. Monkey stomp printer and throw it in the dumpster.

Any of these options wpuld probably work. Just not sure which is best. I already watched the flashforge official extruder head disassembly and assembly video. I'm not attempting that on a $95 part.
