Too small! BOOT0 line pulled up to 3.3v

Too small! BOOT0 line pulled up to 3.3v

Hoping to use the STM32CubeProgrammer to erase and reflash! Strange how a small discreet resistor looks massive at SMD scale. None of the points needed for recovery are broken out to pads. A board that is designed to be scraped if the firmware gets corrupted, even though the hardware is good. Because it's cheaper to throw it in a landfill and make a new one than pay a tech to reflash it! All the time every generation loses the engineering skills that were once common. IF it works tying BOOT0 back to a 0v state will be another mission ...
