It's never been done.
Jk, it's not hard. Just have to remove the bezel that goes around the gauges, then it has 4 plastic tabs holding it in. Gently pull those out just enough to pop each corner of the switch out and it will pop right out. New one just pops in, plug in wire, put the bezel back in and you're done
I don't recall the bezel itself having any screws, just pops on with clips IIRC. Toughest part is getting the wires for the HUD/DIC buttons disconnected, though honestly you could probably just pull the bezel out enough to get the start button out without removing it totally.
I replaced mine pretty much first thing, they're cheap and make the car look a lot better if the paint is worn off of yours. I think I paid $40 for a brand new one.

If you take your time and be aware of the plastic parts it isnt hard to do.

...or you could accidently push it too hard and it pop out on its own...don't ask me how I know but it was an easy fix without removing any of the dash components.
