cut door handle off or cut int. door panel in half?

The rear drivers side door is locked. The child safety switch is on. And my daughter broke the lock knob off inside the door, it has since dissappeared from view. One 'lock-pop' service has already given up. Another may try this Sat.
Question: If he fails. Which would be the easiest way to get into the door? Cut the door handle off and reach in the hole? Maybe too tight?
Or cut the int. door panel in half directly behind the door pull? Destructive but possibly easy to repair.
And NO you can not take the door panel off if the door is closed. One screw (low rear) is completely obscured by frame. And the upper rear screw is kinda tucked behind the C-pillar. Sucks big time. And the panel will not budge with these screw in place.
Sad part is I already sold the car, told the new owner that I would fix the door first.
PS - the int. is rose quartz, if anybody had a spare rear door panel they don't need.
