With great care and a stout jeweler's screwdriver you can pop the hood on a 107, no damage. The PO did this on our for-sale SL. Took him quite awhile. My first act was to hook a coathanger wire to the release lever. Having that big semi-open circle in the middle was key, I believe.

I don't see how the hood can be opened via the grill without drilling/cutting/removing more metal that protects the hood latch. I'd say your best bet is to get at the end of the cable under the dash, grab with a vice grips or similar, and pop the hood that way, and then replace the failed part
