Paperwhite 5.3.1 stuck on boot loop

I finally did it. I got the paperwhite 5.3.1 stuck in boot loop. Upon booting of Mr Bezos reading under the tree and the progress circle, the PW restarts again and does the same thing. I tried using MfgTool but the PW doesn't stay On long enough to get the computer to read the usb. The thing just keeps booting and booting. In the meantime it's a very good window prop. Any direction is appreciated.
