i would not try to break anything. You should see screws that you can remove there is one behind plastic cover on inside handle and two above the pocket. remove the screws and see if you can get some room to work.

from the interior, try holding the lock in the open position manually then do the same with the door handle. if that don't work. yeah you will have to tear thought your door panel.

i brought the car from a guy last week and he said he replaced the door latch but when i cut my passenger door panle with the air saw i found out that the latch was stuck due to there was no grease on it, nothin to lubricate it so that it can pop back open, but i sray some lube on the latch and it opened

Good job on the fix. I was going to suggest jumping in through the window with style but I guess that wouldn't work too well.
