Default C7 Z07 front camera chipped

I was washing the car today and I noticed one of front cameras is chipped.
Picture was blurry for a while, I thought it is just dirty, but no.
What are my options for fixing that? I've seen some posts on forum talking about taking bumper off, replacing grill, or just the camera in it.
Can that front camera shield be taken off with the knife and a new one glued on it?

You can replace just the camera - but it screws in to the grille from the rear requiring the front facia to be removed. Not sure if a YouTuber has found another way to skin that cat. I'm unaware of a lens replacement.

Had to replace my driver camera... cracked and then once that happens moisture gets in and there's really no other alternative to replacement... unless you catch it right away.
