You can remove the bus interface from a graphics card to make it fit into a PCIe X1 slot. It’s important to ensure you do it properly for it to function correctly. There are also adapters available, but modifying the card yourself can be a viable option if done right.
This approach doesn't make sense. Modifying connectors won't guarantee proper function. The article suggests a different method for adapting the card.
You don't need to. Most PCIe slots are designed with an open end, allowing bigger cards to fit inside. If yours lacks that opening, you might be able to melt it open using a hot knife or similar tool. The red circle slot is open, so any length can be inserted. The blue circle is sealed, limiting the size of items that can go in. If it's closed like the blue circle, consider melting it down or using a Dremel tool.
I only smoke the beautiful cannabis flower your friend has, you should give it a try too.
I wondered if my friend used a 5770 and it functioned properly, which is what he says.
