Ok, so if anyone ever finds this in the future, It is possible to get the door card off without completely damaging it if your door is jammed shut. You are probably going to break the three plastic clips at the front of the card (next to the dash). Once you shear those clips (and undo all other fasteners), you can slide the card out. Helps to have the roof down so you have some more working space - that way you can lift the card straight up.
I am still confused as to what actually caused the door latches to stop working... After I pulled the door card out, I just fiddled with the latch mechanism for a second and everything started working again. Maybe the cable just wasn't seated properly? I have no idea.

Yeah, I put the door back together and both the inside and outside latches worked fine at first. I left the car unlocked while parked and had no issues. When I drove it, I locked it from the inside (dash button), and the latches stopped working (both the inside and outside, whether locked or unlocked).
Anyways, I installed the new lock tumbler parts from the Regulator Fix kit and everything works fine now.
