Eh, that can be tough. I usually lean the lock n lube at and angle and eventually it'll break the seal enough to let the pressure squirt off to the side. Yes, that risks ruining the seal inside the lock n lube. Other options are buy the lock n lube pressure release system for your grease gun, or use a wrench to crack the line open to release pressure.
Unscrew the hose, or they have a pressure relief bypass available.
It's rare I come across plugged fittings aside from new to me equipment that some I swear last saw grease in the 80s.

I cannot get behind a Milwaukee grease gun. I have one, but it only gets used when it's cold because the batteries last longer than my Lincoln 20V. I think it's rather clumsy, and takes steady pressure on the plunger when it's cold to pump.
As far as the lockNleak, no thanks. I don't know how some guys love them, and some hate, but they are definitely not for me. Tried 2 about 8 years ago. One lasted about 3 tubes, and not once had been stuck on a zerk. The second leaked after the second zerk. I use the standard Lubrimatic couplers. Buy them a dozen at a time, usually get through the season with that. I am considering buying about 1000 new fittings and swapping every single zerk in the fleet, and see if that stops the coupler issues.

Does anyone have a Milwaukee laser level?

I picked up a green 3 line M12 laser a little while back, good laser, it's nice to just grab another M12 battery and not get new AA's or whatever if you're doing a lot of work.

That is hilarious yes, in reality--I hate a tool that works over my wrist with only a pistol
grip to control torque. I suppose there is another screw in handle?

Big heavy duty drills are scary no matter how many handles they have. A drill bit jams and they still try to rip your arm off. Hand held post hole augers are bad too.
we had one of those impacts. The modern 3/8 will wayy out do it.
