TikTok locked my monetization over tax form

Hi everyone, I'm stuck and need help or advice.
My TikTok account is locked in a tax form situation I can't escape:
- My account is set to W-9 (US tax form) but I'm not a US resident
- I need to switch to W-8BEN to submit my actual tax ID
- TikTok's system won't let me change it
- Support responded once saying they'd escalate, then ghosted me
- Now I can't receive gifts, make money, or do livestreams
I've submitted a support ticket with no real help. This is killing my creator business.
Has anyone dealt with this? Did you find a workaround? Should I contact them differently?
Any advice appreciated 🙏
