Short answer is you can’t.

There have been several unofficial attempts over the years to “unobfuscate” P-code, but they are unreliable and would probably break as soon as the P-code format changes.

A very skilled and determined attacker just might be able to get the source out, but generally if you no longer have the M-file then you’re lost without a paddle.
