clogged nozzle on mk3s+

I'm having a hard time finding a help guide on this. I have a mk3s+ and it appears to be a clogged nozzle. There are no instructions for a cold pull for the mk3s+. So I checked the ptfe tube and it appears to be just fine. I went ahead and removed the nozzle and tried to use the little needle to clear it and i couldnt get the needle through without bending the needle. This guide https://help.prusa3d.com/article/changing-or-replacing-the-nozzle-mk2-5s-mk3s-mk3s_2069 says not to replace the nozzle if its clogged, and i cant seem to find an alternative instruction. I had an issue where nothing was extruding and the gears were popping and grinding the filament trying to get it through.

The printer is fairly new, so I dont think this is hardware failure of course, I just dont think the settings i had for filacube pla2 was right, or just a bad batch of filament.

Does anyone else just replace the nozzle in these situations?
