It takes some skill to extract a vgabios from official BIOS image, in some cases (for some types of the official BIOS) it is hardly doable. I recommend that you follow this path - https://www.coreboot.org/VGA_support#Retrieval_via_Linux_kernel Install the official BIOS image again, then boot Linux

As far as I know, AMD does not have any "evil brother" of Intel ME. It only has AMD PSP (Platform Secure Processor) that is built-in to CPU. So, I don't think that cutting a PCH from AMD CPU has any practical value: even if the platform will boot after such a radical change to computer's hardware,
