XSX/PS5 - Can enter Crew Deck in Chapter 5, breaks game later

In Chapter 10 I have to get the Crew Deck Key Card from the 2nd floor of the Zero-G Gym. However, I did this earlier in the game while exploring, so I already have the Crew Deck Key Card in my inventory. The game doesn't seem to recognize this, and when I go up to the 2nd floor of the gym the Supervisor's corpse isn't there, and neither is the key (since I already have it). As a result I can't satisfy the criteria of the quest (getting the key) so I can't complete it.

I'm dead in the water and can't go back to where I got that key, since it's way too far back in the game to make it worthwhile. HALP

**EDIT 2/3/2023**

I talked to a Dead Space dev during their Reddit AMA today (how funny is that?), and they said that this is a super-rare bug that they've never seen in testing. Apparently you shouldn't be able to access the Crew Deck in Chapter 5 at all, so you shouldn't even be able to get to the area where you get the keycard. They passed it along to their QA team to try to reproduce, but said it it'll be really hard to figure out a fix for this one, and that I'm probably hosed.

Shout out to the dev, they were really cool and helpful, and obviously cared a lot about bugs like this.
