WX Bricked

So it seems as if I've bricked my WX module. I've tried resetting by quickly (and slowly) pulling PGM pin low. Tried a few other things with no success. So I resigned myself to uploading new firmware via serial but I'm stuck at building esp-open-sdk. I've tried for the last 2 days to get the build to complete but it always seems to be something. Short of loading an old version of Debian onto one of the development systems I have laying around (much easier said than done) I was wondering if the community has any suggestions?

When the WX boots, i get a bunch of garbage in the terminal (propeller serial) then it repeatedly tries to boot second stage loader (I think)

Please tell me there's an easier solution (or someone has the separate binaries laying around somewhere) since i can't seem to get the SDK built on debian 12. Any help greatly appreciated!
