New key blade in remote shell?
My key is a little worn, and as such takes a little jiggling/wiggling to get it to slide in to the door lock/ignition.
It's the single-button remote type. Is it possible to remove the blade and replace it with a new, freshly cut one? I have it apart but can't take the circuit board out without breaking a solder..

Just buy a new one,
i got one for my GS for like $40 bucks 3 years ago online. Had Lexus cut it for about $10 or so(cant remember for sure) and programmed it myself. not sure what year your ride is but wasn't to bad programming it. Little fun actually like Contra cheat codes on Nintendo if you know what i mean.
Finding just the blade may be a bit difficult, plus if the actual metal is worn on your key i am sure the plastic isn't to far behind and about to crack.
