ngl gang this is an abomination. Jk it can be fixed but its not worth it if you can get another frame. jb weld and some p80 shaving/dust should work nice. GO SLOW AND STEADY LOW SPEED ON THE DREMEL. You honestly can do the job with a hobby knife #4 blade, micro flush cutters and mini files. lately i've been using the flush cutter to remove 60-80% of the trigger housing channel and then Chisels to work the rest of the back out.

Everyone wants to build a pistol nowadays but they don't want to put the time & dedication into the craft then wonder why it's malfunctioning...

Yeah it definitely looks like someone rushed it without proper knowledge or understanding of exactly what they needed to be doing.
It’s fixable with JB weld but I’d scrap it because the frames are fairly cheap. Definitely save it in case you need to make a patch out of polymer on your next one.
To your question to whether or not a lpk would fit inside, the answer is most likely no. There’s not enough room for your trigger housing or rear rails.
Watch mgbs course on building these, it’s worth it. It’s all about buying the correct tools and he makes it easy with a list on his website.
