As other posters said, start from scratch. Maybe buy a new crate.
Our dog was so bad that she chewed her way out of two different heavy duty plastic ones and would bend the wire ones to escape.
We tried just leaving her out but she destroyed a lot of our stuff and chewed up my rug :(
We bought a heavy duty metal one like linked below, put it in a different spot of the house and HOLY CRAP.
We dont know if it's the elevation, the fact that the cage is sturdier, or changing the location, but it completely changed her attitude on being crated. We put in a crate pad from Costco and give her 2 to 3 stuffed treats, and she settles right in and doesnt whine. If she's home alone with our roommate, she goes and lays in it.
With time, on days she had a lot of playtime and a long walk, we started leaving her out to run to the grocery store (we'd make like 6 to 7 stuffed treat toys and place them all in her crate but not close her in).
Now we're up to 4 to 5 hour blocks of time with only 2 stuffed toys and no issues and I'm feeling pretty confident that she is almost ready for a full work day.
We do close our window blinds while gone as occasionally the outside world makes her anxious and she's more likely to chew... but we've forgotten before and she's been ok.
SO THERE IS STILL HOPE. be patient!
I've also linked the toys that we bought several of and then stuff with treats from costco for our pup. They've lasted surprisingly well for her, though you can tell they've been well loved. I just bought a couple replacements this week

Have you tried one of these West Paws? I insert my dog's bully sticks in there, and it takes her much longer to go through them. :)
So good to hear!
Regarding puppy blues, I would say the first few weeks are hardest. Like break down sobbing hard. For me, puppy blues came in phases, but after the initial accustoming period, puppy blues become easier to deal with. That said, puppy difficulties do come in phases as they reach different stages in their growth, but you are just so much better equipped to deal with them so they don't hit you hard like the initial one.
For chew toys, I don't know where you're based, but you can go to your local dog store (not chain stores, the local specific ones, they may carry a wide variety of chews for you to try. For me it was trial and error. By the end, the trusty old frozen Kong still lasted the longest. Bully sticks are great, but one note - my dog tried to swallow them when they're really long after he was like 4-5 mo. You can try these toys West Paw Zogoflex Qwizl Interactive Treat Dispensing Dog Puzzle Treat Toy for Dogs, 100% Guaranteed Tough, It Floats!, Made in USA, Large, Tangerine https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N29SD5A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6Kq4AbX5SC6K6, and they make the bully stick much harder to pull out thus harder to swallow whole.
We give our 6 mo old bully sticks fairly often, and have since we got him at 3mo. We use this holder, we can shove one half of the stick in and he can't get it out to swallow or anything. Big help when we're out of the house. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N29SD5A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_yUSWAb2SZ1C0T
