I went back and looked and it's clear the bottom comes off entirely. I had
an old X60 that served me extremely well and it had a slot for removing the
harddrive and a little panel with the RAM exposed right below it... I was
hoping for a little panel to expose it as opposed to needing a spudger to
pull the damn whole bottom off.

But I've done it before the replace the HDD, and it isn't very hard. For my
model, I found this service guide by Lenovo:

One thing I did notice when looking at replacement cards was the issue with
the motherboard whitelist -- is the card listed earlier in this thread good
for our machines?
