Possible to partially dis-assemble cherry blue switch on my Black Widow (LED)?

I want to use keyblockers (which depress the switch)... & so I've found I will have to disable the keys in a way where they don't register
at all
because
If I have all 5 macro keys held down at once the keyboard ghosts and doesn't register A LOT of keys
. Even with both either "disabled" in the Razer software OR with the software uninstalled.
So can I take apart the top half of the switches like this video;

? & what about the LED's? I noticed the "hole" under the 'bulb' is big enough for just the wires from the LED to pass through. (basically a narrow slit in the plastic.) Do LED's on Cherry MX just pull out? or is it just not possible to disassemble the switches because the LED are hard wired in?
Thanks ya'll don't wanna break anything.

Nope, you can't. BWU is a plate mounted keyboard, which mean you need to solder off the switch from the board first in order disassemble the switch.
