WPForms crashing wp-admin with "Table wp_wpforms_payments doesn't exist" fatal error — no FTP/phpMyAdmin access, how do I fix?

Locked out of wp-admin after login with this fatal error:

Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Table '8750875db1.wp_wpforms_payments' doesn't exist in .../wp-includes/wp-db.php:2056 Stack trace: #0 wp-db.php(2056): mysqli_query(...'DESCRIBE wp_wpf...') ... #4 wp-content/plugins/wpforms-lite/src/Db/Payments/Payment.php(362): dbDelta(Array) #5 wp-content/plugins/wpforms-lite/src/Helpers/DB.php(282): WPForms\Db\Payments\Payment->create_table() ... #11 wp-content/plugins/wpforms-lite/src/WPForms.php(340): do_action('wpforms_loaded') ... thrown in wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 2056

Problem: I only have the wp-admin login, no FTP or phpMyAdmin access on this hosting account (managed hosting). Checked my inbox for a WordPress "site experiencing technical difficulties" recovery mode email — nothing there.

Has anyone hit this specific WPForms/mysqli issue and found a fix that doesn't require FTP/DB access, or is contacting hosting support to rename the plugin folder / manually create the table really the only option here?

Any help is very much appreciated
