I'm the least knowledgeable person here, so take this with a grain of salt, but if you have any interest in ever working on mouthpieces there won't be any harm in taking sandpaper, files, a chainsaw or whatever to that one. It seems like an opportunity to get a feel for how each attacks the material, how to handle it, and so on. It'll still function as a doorstop afterwards.
