I understand traditional methods don’t work with modern SSD, anyone knows any good way to do it?

Are you considering using the drive afterwards? Because “toss it in a microwave for like 5 minutes” is always a valid answer if you’re not worried about reusing it.

Presumably there's a risk of damaging the microwave?

If you want to cook with it yeah, but if it's a junk toy then it's practically indestructible
