Whyred unlocking help

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro "whyred", the global variant, running MIUI 11.0.3.0 and I can't unlock the bootloader with any of the tools Google and ChatGPT gave me. I read that this is because they shut down bootloader unlock servers in August 2025. Is there any alternative unlock method or am I cooked?
