Surprisingly simple and tested for accuracy.
Be gentle. It will drill through rather fast. I used a 1/16 bit with a electric screwdriver and using a tad of pressure, it went through easily.

Simpler way: super glue (the thin kind)
Worked on mine. 😉
Yes, it is a valid alternative. I have Gorilla super glue and it is so viscose, it would not seep all the way down. I had to go with the drill method.
Or just don’t buy Alexa… 🙂 That’s ‘my’ solution.

WHY?
I don’t trust mikes that don’t control.
What do you suppose the over/under is for, “how long before Amazon redesigns the Fire Stick remote to move the microphone to another, less-well-known spot”?
Or alternatively, “how long before Amazon includes a microphone in the Fire Stick itself, instead of just the remote”?
At some point, the fact it’s so easily found and defeated becomes a liability categorized as a design flaw that needs fixing.
Don’t underestimate a guy with a spudger and a soldering iron.
As to the location of the microphone moving from the remote to the stick.
It’s a bit of a problem of them getting a good enough read of you voice now with an unobstructed microphone.
Imagine the sound quality from one buried behind your loud TV.
Ratus beat me. And still, if there is a transducer, it can be defeated. And they can only bury it so deep before it becomes useless.
And done! https://imgur.com/a/BZX13Xy
Hey Miguel, do you want a spare microphone?
It took longer to spudge it open, then to remove tiny SMD microphone.
And yes, the remote works.
