I just want to second this. iFixIt and a solid screwdriver will get you into anything but the most recent Macbook lines.
iFixIt claims it's a "Medium" difficulty job, but the only hard part would be fighting with getting out that screw at the dent. Pentalobe screwdriver is worth buying to keep servicing macs yourself, too, since that era macbook had its own screw type. Good luck!
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.

Yeah, not sure why they said "Medium." 🤔
Maybe it's a lot of screws to not lose haha
That feel when you tear down your computer, put it back together, and have a dozen screws left over.
It's better. It's lighter, sleeker, faster... mainly about 3g of metal lighter.
