Egg binding. Any sort of DIY advice?

I have a big female pit- she's never been bred and I've had her for a long time. She's always been a great captive with an amazing appetite. A couple months ago she went off feed- which wasn't a huge concern in my eyes and I figured she'd come around eventually but come to find out about a week ago she's obviously gravid with a clutch of infertiles- and by clutch I count around 12.

Normally this wouldn't be a problem- moist lay box yada yada however, she has scale damage at her cloaca preventing her from passing eggs on her own (which is why I was never going to breed her). So after a week I've managed to get 4 out, as soon as one peaks out I can get it the rest of the way and free her.

Any sort of home remedies for this sort of thing? I'd hate to lose her as she's a beautiful snake, but at the same time I'm basically at a loss on how to get the eggs out of her safely, and I'm starting to think dispatching her may be the best option...
