Since you don't seem to be against using mods, google TwistedMexi. He has a site and a Patreon page. He has a destroy object cheat fix. You will also have to install his all cheats mod as well to use it. He also has a mod called T.O.O.L. which might work, too. I don't use mods in my game so can't give first hand info of how they work. If I did use mods, though, I wouldn't hesitate to use one of his.
May be a silly question but did you try saving and exiting the game, then restarting? Sometimes that will take care of odd things such as this. Not always but worth a try.
