I was nervous updating my Ryzen BIOS the other day. That worked. However, a couple simplistic tries at overclocking memory failed -- required BIOS resets.
Meantime, my first two Ryzen motherboards had "vanity lighting" failures (worked otherwise). One went back to the local store. Today, I'm packing the second to go back to the motherboard manufacturer for RMA replacement.
I'm actually running on the third motherboard (I bought a 3'd because I did not want to wait for the RMA return). That's 3 in approximately one month -- bought the first one March 11.
None of the above helps you. But, know you have "company". I hope you find a relatively low stress solution.

Shouldnt most modern mainboards have a BIOS Recovery option (ie load on USB Stick, hold a Button, turn on PC, allow it to run)

Just for my own information, I read the user's manual for your motherboard (in case I have that problem). It says the same thing as my ASUS motherboard manual.
It seems straight forward to recover the BIOS -- IF one has a copy of the BIOS on a flash drive -- AND has renamed the BIOS file in the removable device into PRB350PS.CAP. Now, your manual says to rename. My manual says nothing about renaming. Maybe that's an issue??
They say, just turn on the computer and install the flash drive in a USB port. I know you know that. I'm just wondering what happened for my future reference.
When my ASUS comes back from RMA, I'll make a second Ryzen computer -- I would like to worry less about flashing the BIOS. FWIW, my Gigabyte Ryzen MB has two BIOS chips on board -- I just throw a switch on the MB to change chips if one breaks -- then re-flash the broken one (in principle). .

That's what I thought, but ASUS support just confirmed that the B350 board does NOT, and will have to be RMA'd. Now I regret not getting the Crosshair VI. Ask them to Flash your Replacement w/ the Latest BIOS.

Sorry, Not doing any noncontracted work right now, or taking new contracts (health issues and stuff).
The systems I finished were being built before I stopped taking new contracts, and they were local buyers.
I can offer advice loke I always do, no problem.

Sorry to hear about your health issues, I hope they are just a bother and get solved soon. About the system, yes I was meaning advice only, also considering I will be in Italy by then. I know I can ask in these forum and find very competent advice too but given what is available on the market might differ from what's available in the US, it would require more dedication. Not much, but still some that I thought I would compensate via Paypal or something, like a Steam gift of choice or the like. The offer still stands, but I guess we'll see about it roundabout in June. My intention is to get a Ryzen 1600X and an "ad interim" Radeon RX 580 for the time being, until Vega matures.
