Swollen Battery

I have a Razer Blade 15 2020 Advanced - I've had it for just over a year at this point. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the trackpad was starting to get very hard to press down on the left side. I thought maybe some dirt had got trapped inside, so I took the bottom cover off the machine to take a look. On further inspection - I was able to see the problem, which is that the battery is bulging quite significantly on the left side. Either related or unrelated, but at the same time as I began to notice the trackpad issue - I started experiencing overheating issues where the system would power off due to critical temps i.e. > 100c. In any case the heat has seemed to warp the speaker grills - they have puffed out and there are now tiny ridges on them. Machine is out of warranty (just), so I was wondering if you can supply me with parts to fix this. I'd rather not opt for an after market battery and ofcourse it will be almost impossible to find an aftermarket/second hand faceplate

Whilst the upgrade went smoothly, the process of getting the back cover off was a nightmare. I used a t5 torx screwdriver to get the screws out, the threadlock in the sockets meant having to apply a significant amount of force to get them out. One of the screws in the right corner was just impossible to get out, so much so that I ended up shredding the screw. To get that one out I had to tap the screw with a drill bit. After performing the upgrade, I proceeded to begin reattaching the backplate with the remaining screws. During the process of doing so 3 screws gave way and immediately shredded without applying any force. The quality of these screws in
