Seatbelts tend to be held in with Torx-head bolts. Right bicycle pedals have left-hand-threaded studs. Spanner-screws are a standard you'll find drivers for in any good security or electronics/small-appliance repair set.
Odds aren't that far off that this screw was chosen for their blenders decades ago when this screw-driver was more common, and this one part was never updated as the design ... "evolved".
The screw head was at tho bottom of a 2 inch shaft.
They didn't have to cut shit.

They didn't have to do anything destructive to "expose" the screw. They were too lazy to find a better way to see the bottom of the hole it was in.
That's a standard spanner-head screw. No welding required. The bits and drivers are not so hard to come by, or make.
$30 bucks. An endoscope is $30 bucks, and well worth it.
Everyone should have a bit-set that includes standard spanner bits. Especially in this community.
Phone camera; $30 digital microscope; $30 Endoscope. There are just so many better ways available to look down a hole to see what's at the bottom than to tear apart the space around it.

OP didn't have to handle it how they did, at all.
I might drink alcohol maybe one in a dozen-or-so times I visit a bar. Europeans visit taverns and pubs just like visitting any other restaurant. It would be cool if more Americans had a healthier relationship with alcohol, instead of living like there's nothing between permanent and/or total inebriation, versus absolute sobriety.
Looks like it won to me.
