Is there any way for me to discreetly make all the data in one of
those badbois unreadable when it is already in read-only mode
and won't change back?

Why? Just buy Sandisk like a normal person.
Regardless, simply cut your losses, and forget about the drive - it's just a few dollars anyway.

melt it in acid and let it completely disintegrate for about 30 minutes and it will be no more
also do NOT let such acid touch you skin or stick your finger into the acid unless you want to melt your
fingers
>>98137026 (OP)
Yes
Connect red and black to AC 120V
or 240V and you're set

writeable again. I imagine it was too damaged to work again, I can read it fine but there's nothing
important on it anyway

Everyone can tell you've got something to hide on that drive. It's literally a few dollars at the very most.
If you're so poor that you would use a warranty on such a cheap product, you would've gone for an
even cheaper product.
Anyways, here's some steps for actually making the data unreadable:
- Open a Linux terminal. If you're not using Linux, you're probably already on a watch-list for whatever
illegal shit you had on it.
- Run lsblk to identify the location of the drive (e.g. /dev/sdc).
- Check you've got write permissions
sudo shred -zn 1 {location}
- Run
Then all the data will be overwritten with a null char.
